AJ, BK and I bought our cars at Passport in MD, so technically out of state. But its really not a big deal. I had mine done by my house, 20 minutes max. On the tints issue, it wouldn't hurt to roll the windows down. Also wouldn't hurt to have a couple of bills handy in your pocket during inspection
I wonder how long you can get away with no front plates. I see a lot of C6 corvettes, Z4s, Ferraris and Aston Martins with no front plates...
