Not part of inspection. I’ll look it up in my V&T to see if its required for road use. Hmm i can find nothing under section 375 of V&T appling to a hood. It does state that anything mounted to the hood that obstruts the view is illegal. This is an older book as my new one is in my office, i’ll check when i get there later ---

Thanks Pauly, much appreciated! the reason i may need to drive with no hood, is due to my cf hood that i had to custom fit to my headlight conversion…well the pins let go last weekend, and the hood is completely destroyed. im supposed to go to Scrape by the Lake with the car next weekend, and it will be almost impossible to build an entire new hood by next weekend. we just fixed the rof last night as it was dented and chipped. ---

[quote=“Eazy716"”] anyone know the NY law on driving with no hood? I’ve heard its against the law, [/quote] I think driving with no hood, the battery must not be exposed. If you have your battery in the trunk, then you don’t have anything to worry about. ---
