as far as being street legal it is gonna depend on where you live.
In Oregon the tires have to be covered with a fender/mudflaps.

more sheetmetal is going to get cut and the kickers coming off the mini stinger serve as bedside supports since when you dovetail a bed you lose support from the floor and the sides get floppy.. now the sides are as sturdy/sturdier than stock...
