Kevin, you should be fine, it's just for a few hours. But yea, just call Fremont PD and ask on their non emergency line.

just do it, few hours you dont get caught that easy. and tell us after you find out. i want to know also.

im pretty sure its illegal though.

we're in California, its illegal!

[QUOTE=JourdanWithaU;2178914]It should be ok... I have seen a few cars without hoods... but that doesn't make it legal...[/QUOTE]

Hoods dont just break lol

[QUOTE=Irish_car_B0mb;2178952]hey dude. for real. just call your local pd. Its not a huge deal. Just call and ask. Its not like you have to give them any info. Just call the local number NOT 911, and ask "hey i need my hood to be fixed tomorrow and I have a few errands to run while doing that, is it legal for me to drive without a hood on my car." I use to do it, calling and asking i mean. And then my wife started working for them, so now i just ask her. LOL[/QUOTE]
make sure to get the name of whoever you talk to there

"I misinterpreted the rules" :lol:

[QUOTE=Daweism;2179162]Hoods dont just break lol[/QUOTE]

If it ever happened to you you wouldn't say that- OK well maybe hoods don't but latches sometimes do- I had it happen on my Audi at 60 MPH on the Richmond Bridge, it was dam scary!

I think if my bike rack hadn't taken most of the impact, my windshield would have wound up in my lap.

I slowed down, put my flashers on and drove looking out the side window to get off the bridge, put the hood back on (both hinges broke, but it was bent over the bike rack enough to keep from falling off) and drove slowly to Kragen and bought some hood pins.

"I reeeched these keeeds." so great :lol:

kevin do u have any mods* under the hood...?

it seems though fremont cops have been a lil *****y lately and pulling over "modified" cars lately (they always have been) but they are going crazy

and knowing when cops are dicks theyll get you for anything...

Engine is stock. Everything.

^ no way...youre running 37 hp, you must be chipped

u should be fien then kevin... just say it rusted off its hinges haha

LOLOLOL mess up hahah

Is illegal, but the most you will get is a fix it ticket if you get caught, which should be $10 after correcting.

Just do it.

[QUOTE=kYLEMtnCRUZr;2178920]thats why they invented blue tape. or white tape for your case.

its definitely illegal. Why do you think 1/2 of new cars are but ugly? because their hoods need creases or bulges to aid in pedestrian crash tests. mazda 6, prius etc.

youll get a fix it ticket i bet.[/QUOTE]

Those are euro crash standards, as they see our big honkin 5mph bumpers are butt ugly too.
