You'd never get done for it. How do hotrods get away with having fibre glass panels?

fibreglass panels are ok.
bonnets are designed to crumble in a accident, fibreglass dosnt crumlbe, and usually in a head on or front impact of some sort a bonnet will go strait over the window or through it, but wont brake, it will jsut snap off the hinges.
so they areillegal to stop people taking their heads off in accidents and/or the bonnet coming loose in a accident and flying off and doing damge elsewhere, ie pedestrians ...
