Am I missing a bumper?

[Mike W.]

'03 QX4. I know, cars have plastic bumper covers these days, so it's hard to see what's really underneath. But doing some digging, it appears the plastic is all I've got! Should I have more in here? It appears to have been in a modest front ender before my ownership, so I'm guessing it was removed then. Fasteners and all aren't consistent and one headlight has had the housing repaired. I can see some beefy pieces bolted to the frame ends, but they aren't doing anything? Next question is do Pathy bumpers interchange if I am missing it?

Mine is the same as your and I was thinking the same thing while working on mine. I was expecting a steel bar, foam, etc to fill the space behind the bumper.

Hmmm, at least I'm not the only one. It looks like there is a part, #9 in the image, but I'm not seeing it there!
