Yeah, you'll be fine. As the above poster said, it just draws more attention, so don't drive like a dumbass

Hey, you're near me.....

It all depends on the area. It will bring more attention to your car. Thieves and cops.

Drop the car off, go hang out with some buddies. Come back 8 hrs later and pick it up. Problem solved.

it took a week to get mine painted. i would worry about the quality if they get it back to you the same day. lots of people looking at the engine, but no problems from the cops.
