The foam is the absorber and behind that is the front reinforcement, or the real bumper. The foam helps absorb the impact during accident, but also stops rattle. So if u cut it, save some just in case....a tuck here, a tuck there... Does wonders noise.

after accidents, some people don't replace the foam. But say someone backs up into the front, without the foam there is more chance of cracking the bumper cover.
