I would keep them because they go with the gap of the rear bumper that connect to the rear fender, unless you want to mold everything on..

I think the Camaro looks better without molding, but I plan to keep mine on the T/A. I think it makes the sides look as aggressive as the front end, and it doesn't look right with the Trans Am emblems and no molding. But definitely lose yours.
