Why wouldnt that be street legal? You can cut out the places for the headlights.

Because even the skins of doors are made to crumple and take energy.

A few Maryland Laws that many people dont know of. Most of these laws are in all states.

•Addition of non-standard lighting (neon lights, under-vehicle lights),
•Alteration or removal of air pollution and emissions control device
•Modification of vehicle ground clearance ("lowered" or "raised" vehicles),
•Removal of mufflers and other sound-control devices, and
•Window tinting (especially tinting of windshield or driver/front passenger side windows).
•Removal of ANY factory saftey equipment, including airbags, restraints, and structural pieces.

Mind you that most police will only look at tinting and lighting...

If you want to lighten your car up, remove the rear seat that is about 40-60 lbs, remove spare tire from trunk 20+ pounds.
But that kit is great if you're a professional drag racer.
