Rear bumper part?

I'm not sure of the name for the part but I would just call it the actual bumper. It is the metal piece that the honeycomb crash absorber attatches to under the rear bumper cover. I need to know if it can be replaced since it has a lot of really bad rust on it. I can't seem to find a replacement. Hawks just has bumper covers. Anyone got any info?

I would just go to a junkyard and get one. No one will see it so it doesnt have to be new, as long as its not bent or rusted.

how hard is it to get off the car? I noticed on mine that the honeycomb appears to be rivetted on to the impact bar. It could be a bolt with a nut on the other side. I haven't got all the way under the car with a flashlight to look.

The impact absorber is usually held on with plastic rivets (same ones that hold the bumper cover on).

The rear imact bar is bolted on.
