Default illegal to drive without hood?

is it illegal to drive without hood? i'm thinking of picking up an after maket hood about 30 mins away. is it illegal?

also do you have to use hood pins? i'm thinking of getting the vented MG style hood. is it necessary for safety?

not sure about hood pins with that hood, but i do know in arkansas it is illegal to drive without a hood. might also want to post up your local forum to get a better response, and possibly some body willing to let you use thier pickup truck.

Yeah, I belive it is illegal, but if you pretend you didnt know, and explain to the cop your situation youll prob be okay.

Make sure you dont give him a reason to pull you over haha drive cautiously
