it might not be fake, but its not a real one. a friend of mine told me about taking a car to a place like that and on the way home from the safety one of the brake lines blew, lol

I found different shops allowed different things. When I had my safety done, I had tires that didn't pass... but I had another set of rims and tires in the back with new rubber, and they said that was good enough cause even if we put them on for the safety, I'd just swap them again. As for the window, since it's technically legal, you could find a place that would pass it, but it would be hard.

Some people are right if you have a stone chip, star or crack in the driver’s wiper path then it fails. But in this case the crack in the window has not reached that part as of yet.

my point exactly
