Bumper foam piece missing = ???
So question... you know how everyone has that piece of foam under their bumper? I don't. Took off my bumper for the first time today and this is what I see...
Is this a problem? Or a better question (cause I know it isn't a really big problem) what is that foam there for in the first place?

The fit is def gonna hit the shan though if they try to blame this on me. "Well it must have been there sir, you must have removed it'"... that will be some

I cant imagine that it really does much. If you rear end someone at low speed, your bumpers already fucked up and you probably wont have frame damage. And if you're going fast, well you're already screwed so once again foam doesn't matter. Mine fell off during my fog light install, but I put it back in because it can't hurt.
