Running without fenders?

[shaolin.138]

Does anyone know if it is legal in California, to drive the bug without rear fenders? I have some crazy custom ideas that involve removal of rear fenders, and I want to make sure this will be legal.

I know I've seen old hotrods like '32 fords rolling around without them, so I doubt it is a problem, but I can't seem to find a straight answer.

Thanks,
