Fenders are still a law, so you could be ticketed for it. Not sure if thats a secondary offence in NJ i.e. they have to pull you over for something else to give you a 'fix it' ticket for the fenders. Dunno. There are plenty of NJLE on here, they could prob best answer your question.

 

In Maryland we don't have inspection but we do still have laws to follow. They don't really bother down where I'm at but they could if they wanted to. Inspection or not.

 

one of our athletes just came in and is a roxbury nj cop

narrow fenders are illegal, but you will not get pulled over for it, purely a secondary offense

 

True. No fenders and you will get pulled over. Ask me how I know.. haha

 

Yeah.. not sure where I saw NO fenders.. haha

Either way your right. Its not legal but you shouldn't get hassled for it. same thing with Stubby bumpers

 

Like mentioned above, it is still a law and you know there are some "over zealous" cops out there that look for any excuse to pull someone over- I'm not one of those. The taking away of inspection was purely a money issue. It in no way means you can now drive junkers on the road without recourse, it just simply puts the responsibility on the car owner to be sure your car is in proper working order. Commercial trucks from 10001-26000 lbs fall under a "NJ self inspection rule" if operated in NJ alone and now our cars kinda fall under the same thing. The violation is an equipment violation, some are primary stop, ie: headlights, tail lights, etc, but fenders, I don't believe, are a primary.

 

Thanks guys. I think I see factory width flat fenders in my future . And I didnt realize that stubbys were a problem?? I just chopped my factory bumper ... hope that doesnt cause problems.

 

You will be fine with the chopped bumper. I have had mine chopped for a long time. Even went through inspection with no issues.
