Is the hood just going to be hanging in mid air, or is that gone too?

You're not going to get the look you want by removing the fenders, it will look stupid.

I found that most of the bolts on the fenders were braking when trying to remove the bolts. I then started to just tighten the nuts until the bolt just brakes off which really made things alot easyer when removing those fenders. The fender brakets will be useless afterwards but since the bolts were going to brake anyways, didn't matter.

I think you're right. The studs on the fender flare retainers always break. No FLARES looks ok, no fenders looks stupid.
