Driving without a grill safe?

I am thinking about getting my grill painted, but this will require me driving home with no grill on a high way for 1 hour. Is this safe? Can I get a ticket?

you'll be fine without it. it has openings for air anyway. and it's not against the law.

Just make sure nothing flys in and damages your rad.

Ive actually been driving around town with no grille. Its at a shop getting painted. I tried to paint the emblem my self, didnt work out so great, I went with a pro. Cost me $20 in DYI supplies and $100 for the pro. I ll post pics of how it comes out.

YOu'll be fine. The odds of something flying through the hole and causing damage is highly unlikely
