Getting your guards rolled isn't illegal, there might be complications if you seriously get them majorly pumped or pulled out though.

Not too sure how legal running without splashguards is, but I've been running without it for the last.....6 months? All good!

yeah driving with dented panels isnt illegal
so driving around with dinged up guards isnt too
pro to do it $60 per corner
back yard free

but in most cases paint will crack on the bend on guard

Cops can defect you for anything, I've actually seen someone get defected for a DVD headunit (just for having it, not for operating it while driving). Just because they can defect you for it, doesn't mean it's always illegal, you always get power-trippy cops who just want to do you for anything.

lol they were half rolled. so i un-rolled them. and put the guard liners. even if they're fully rolled its not that hard.I work in panel shop seen many things. and yes it is illegal. talk to any cop or even mechanic's. It's illegal but people do it anyway. when they're fully flat thats when they are noticeable.

Oil leak = defective engine component for there to be an oil leak = defect

What's so confusing about that?
