i want to get my hood re painted, the shop said it will only take a day, but i dont want to be out of a car for a day... can u drive with out a hood legally?

 

Yes you can.

 

be careful just draws more attention thats all

 

if i drop the hood off at 8am it will be done by 4pm

 

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.....
:: phones local cops to pull over Civic with no hood tomorrow ::

 

Check Local Laws for your answer. and here is what you do drive the car there, take hood off there. leave the car. get a ride back home. sleep. wake upi pick up your car.

 

SOme states wont let you do it but you should be fine...like they said watch out for theives...

 

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

 

only for 8hrs tops

 

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

 

chowmien guy have a point...

 

Yup thats what i would do...also so they make sure it matches body right

 

It should only take 1 day...unless there's a problem.

 

well it probably isnt illegal but i got pulled over for not having my hood and right fender on, but that WA the cops are dicks

 

It may not be illegal, but some cops to be dicks might give u a hard time...is it a chance your willing to take?? I road 4 about an half an hour through Quincy ma...******** cop city without my hood....they didn't bother me just odd looks...."Like it's that damn VTEC, thats why we can't catch'em....but u should be okay...just no dumb ****

 

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.

 

heres whay i was thinking,

8am-go to shop take out and leave my hood
8.3am- drive to work

6pm- drive back to auto shop
