Default will this be street legal ?

So I came across this:

Harwood Fiberglass Body Kit - Front End - Race Use Only! Not Intended For Street Vehicles for 82-93 Chevrolet S10 at Andy's Auto Sport

on a website just click the link to check it out, anyways I am just wondering if I cut out the headlight and the turn signal spots will it be street legal I am interested in installing this because I love how it is all 1 piece and I really love the whole black section where the grille would be normally I think it would look cleaner overall only question is will it be street legal if I do those 2 mods I said I was going to do?

Well, for 1, I don't see how the rad would get airflow, and 2, that would be useless in an accident. You would mess up everything if you hit anything. Just something to think about.

You'd have to cut up the grille area... kinda need some air flow into your engine...

I'm not sure, I don't have my glasses on but it says, Race Use Only! Not Intended For Street Vehicles.

If I were you I wouldn't even bother buy that at all. 1) It got no grille on it so the engine can't get no air through it, and 2) if you hit something then it will destory.

I understand that, I thought maybe it would work if I took out certain parts but obviously not ...... I always appreciate the obvious smart *** though

It would be a cool thing to do but cost money and have to be careful.

It could look nice, but I'm not really 100% sure of why you would want to do this? even something small like a bush could crack this thing. Just does not seem practical

I ran a tilt front on one of my race trucks and the only thing it was good for was cracking all over the place. Was a pita having to design a mount for the rad and the headlights didn't ever look right.
