Does anyone have a picture of the back of the front bumper cover. Mainly needing a pic of the black piece that goes across the crash bar area.

Ahh I'm needing a picture of the plastic piece on the actual bumper that goes across that white crash bar you don't happen to have that do you?

This?

(The second pic is looking at the "front" side of the crush insert where it fits into the fascia.)

YES THIS!!!! Thank you I'm putting the oil cooler down below that crash bar and wanted to see what I should cut before taking everything apart. Seeing that I might just remove it permanently or take it out to trim a bunch of stuff off. How hard was it to take that off and are there any wires hidden or secured to it?

I think there was a total of 4 plastic "hook tabs" to pull back to release it. I just used a screwdriver. The only wire is the one you see in the picture that goes from left to right to connect the marker lamps. The connectors were a little bit of a pain to get loose, but not too bad. Once the fascia is off the car, you can have the insert out in 5 minutes. Good luck!

Awesome thank you.

OP, it may not look like much but (from the experts) "the bumper absorber takes up the impact energy in a collision, to protect valuable body and mechanical components behind it. It is designed to be a sacrificial part and must be replaced if damaged in a collision".

I highly recommend you do not permanently remove it as it is a fairly critical safety and damage control feature when front end collisions happen. It is carefully designed to do a specific job upon impact. If it's not there, what could have been a relatively minor "fender bender" could turn into extensive damage.

I have a 4 inch intercooler a trans cooler and soon an oil cooler all up front no matter what happens any hit up front will be significant.
