Bring rope and tape in case you can't get it to fit right away so you can still hold it in place if you need to.

It's different by State. Some states it's illegal to drive with missing body panels, other States don't care. And of course even if you're in a State that doesn't have a law on the books, it doesn't mean you won't get a cop who feels like harassing you.
But either way, it's probably less than a fifty percent chance anything bad will happen.
