im pretty sure what you are talking about is attached to the bumper with something other than screws or clips (almost looks like part of the bumper). This happened to me except i ran thru paint and it was all up my doors and windows. I used some bug and tar remover followed by a clay bar You might also want to try some rubbing alcohol and if you need something stronger try goo gone. If you really want to take a chance gasoline will take it right off but becareful with it

i just recently clayed my car, and got rid of a little bit of it, but i can't get it off anymore
