so i can remove the two little things.
Some call those 'little things' over riders, others call them a bumperette.
As kurt said, very simple just stick your head in the boot.

Over-riders are typically these..

What you're talking about are bumperettes..
But why do you want to remove them?

No way!
You're crazy! :p

How can you buy the best looking muscle car in the history of the world and start messing with why it's the best looking muscle car in the history of the world??
Buy some nice ones and put them on! :)

You're all crazy! :p The look is much better with them. That's what 69 Camaros look like.
So, why on Earth did you guys buy 69s anyway?

I actually don't mind them that much on the rear. Mine didn't come with them. I'm really not a fan of running them on the front though.

They weren't available on the front. The over-riders, if that's what you're thinking of, are a different item and were optional.
The rear bumperettes (the topic of this thread) are a factory item on ALL 1969 Camaros. They were never an option.

Whatever you want to call them. And when I say mine didn't come with them that means when I bought it. I wasn't born untill the eighties so of coarse I didn't buy it new!
