I was just wondering if the black plastic bumper thing on the front of the truck right below the grill is removable and if so what is under it? is it just a cover or something??

Are you referring to the black step pad on top of the bumper right below the grill? If so, it's painted underneath that if you have a painted upper bumper cap.

Im pretty sure there are holes under the pad though where it attaches. Are you going to be reusing it?

Take a pic of what you are talking about. If its the step pad then there should be holes under it I believe. Or are you talking about the whole top of the bumper?
