It's a removable piece of metal that holds the bumper cover in place. Not a structural part - you can safely grab one from the junkyard or honestly just bend it back in place by hand.

Here is a picture of it off the vehicle

Mystery piece no part number is on it anywhere?????????? That, or just pull one from a junkyard car, or just bend yours back into shape so it fits and molds into the bumper and lights correctly. It's not structurally strong, so it doesn't matter if it's a bit bent up - as long as it holds your bumper and lights at a satisfactory angle. |
a quick search on the oem parts site shows that the bumper has a support bar beneath it. Is it part 6 shown below?

Are you sure? It looks like the 99 TL appears to have a large sheet metal bar that goes across to guide the top of the bumper where it meets with the headlights / fender / hood/grill. 00-03 TL's have two bars (40 &41) because of the new grill design that is separate from the hood.
The beam that supports the styrofoam between body and the bumper cover would be part 5 in the image, it also has two other parts (11 & 12) which act as keys for the styrofoam to sit on. |

lol...I was only quick because I'm online right now buying some random parts for my car.
|
Buying fun parts, or parts to keep it alive?
|
Just parts to keep it alive. Like that water valve in the heater circuit that keeps getting stuck no matter how much I lube it and a few other plastic /rubber parts that are just old.
