The cover is what you are needing. The rear bumper probably includes the bumper support.

the bumper its self is the metal bar that bolts the the body

the bumepr cover is the plastic molding that goes around it

there should be foam inbetween the bumper(metal bar) and the bumper cover (plasitc bumper)

but not need jsut there to absorbe some impact

edit : go to the junk yard and get a new bumper and bumper cover if you dont have it
