plastic front bumper support?

is the bumper support behind the front bumper plastic from the factory or is this aftermarket. I assumed it was steel and i was going to swap it with a lighter aluminum one but the entire thing is all plastic so i dont need to do anything to it. Ive tried searching but i couldnt find any info on plastic bumper supports.

The support that bolts to the frame horns is steel. The plastic impact absorber is bolted to the steel support right behind the bumper.
