We're all about safety and morality here in Ohio.

You could be right. I remember reading in Rodder's journal, about a guy living in western PA, registering his car in Ohio to beat the fender law, but it could have been the other way around. In MA, you don't need fenders, but you need a front plate

UNLESS, the vehicle is registered as a Street Rod, and carrying PA Street Rod plates. In that case, no fenders, bumpers, or hood is required. But if there's no hood, the fan must be shrouded.
Up in the northwest, Oregon, Washington, or somewhere, they have a law that says fenders are optional, but if you don't have them, you aren't allowed to drive in the rain or on unpaved roads. Every state has their own interpretation of what's cool, and much of that depends how politically active their street rod organizations are.
