I did it about 12 yrs ago and it's very dangerous & a bit scary. It might have changed by now though. Make sure you have plenty of gas and have rented a 4 wheel drive. There are parts where there are no roads or the roads are washed out/missing. Rental car companies disclaim coverage though.
Good luck.

The road to maui the traditional way kinda sucks. The other way is a little scary but more memorable. It's more remote, no paved road, etc but you get amazing views.
Gazebo for breakfast (white chocolate macadamia pancakes with coconut syrup) this is worth the trip alone. The beaches at lahaina are pretty cool. Take a helicopter ride to check out the crater or volcanos, plus you will see waterfalls thru the sky - no other way to see them except by air. Mamas fish house is a good place to eat. There's a bunch of places to go horse back riding. I usually go in the winter when there's whale watching boats, if that's not around check out the Molokini crater for snorkeling (google imag it) there are boat tours that take you out there to do it.
Lots of good restaurants in maui. There was a fantastic thai place as well forget the name but if you search for it I'm sure it will come up at the top.
