yup its part of the bumper

they make a special tape at auto paint supply stores that is better at keeping the paint from bleeding under teh tape. i'd call around and see if you can find it.

Yeah frog tape will help prevent paint bleed. I have used this tape and it does work very well and does stop paint bleed.

Headlight Buckets is also another name
