id say its legal in anything that isnt a import only because they get targeted for everything. its illegal for no doors either, unless they were made removable from the factory.

Ive driven around for a couple weeks with no front bumper rear bumper, side skirts, or front passenger fender.

No cops bothered me and it was sure a lot more obvious than no hood. You should be fine if you dont rice around.

Everything is illegal. Nothing is legal. Welcome to freedom.

Its kinda neat to drive around with the hood off. I did it once when mine wasnt latched and fucked the windshield. Watching the throttle, BOV actuate if its facing you, etc is cool. Just a "try it once out of curiosity" is all its good for though.

And actually driving without a fender IS illegal as there is a maximum distance your tires can extend past some sort of fender..hence the need for flares on "mud trucks"
