Icon2 question about no hood riding

well im going to go pick up a hood for my civic, but the thing is i dont have a pick up to put the hood on. so what i was going to do is drive over to the place with no hood and just install it there. But is it illegal to have no hood on the car while drive on the road?

i live in IL

i was in the same situation as you... i was going to pick up a new CF hood and didnt want to drive there with out one. soooo what i did was sold my friend my old CF hood and had him fallow me for about an hour drive with out his hood. lol he didnt get botherd at all and the drive was a bit farther then yours. i would say you dont have anything to worry about.

I see old school muscle cars do it all the time. But why not just rent a hitch from home depot I "think" it may be cheep. I mean renting it for about an hour and a half is cheaper then a ticket.....I think. Well gl.
