i believe there are two holes per side and that they are just bolted on. you have to take off pieces of your plastic interior to get to them though.

I'm guessing you're talking about the 3 piece wrap around on your camaro. The pass side is accessble by taking the spare tire cover off & reaching back in there to access 2 of the 3 nuts holding it on. The other side is similar but (I had to anyways) you have to take the cardboard pocket thingy out to comfortable get to them (or rip the entire trim off that side,, up to you). Next (the fun part) you have to take out the rear tail lamps. You will see a hole in the top corner of the quater on each side,, this is the access to the 3rd nut holding the side pieces on .

Or instead of taking the tail lights out, you could do what I did before I noticed the access hole. Once you undo the 2 side nuts, break the spoiler so you can get a wrench on the 3rd nut (its a pain, but you can) and turn the spoiler to undo the nut. I didnt mind doiing this on one side of mine since it was broken anyway, but you may not want to break yours.
