bumper cover = plastic piece covering where your bumper is located
Valence = panel just below bumper

So does the bumper cover replace the bumper or just go over it or "cover" it? And thanks for the replies.

I was looking at the Roush body kit and one by Street Scenes. I want it to be simple and not too gaudy. This seems like a stupid line of questions, its just that like you said different websites call body parts different things. What is the plastic piece above the bumper? I need to get a PTM one mine is the ugly black textured one. So a bumper cover will completely replace the chrome bumper up front right?

Front bumper above the chrome part below the grill there is a black plastic piece that comes on the XLs, what is that called so I can order a PTM one? TIA

Yeah the FX2 was what inspired me to look at body kits in the first place. And it does look like Roush even the grill. So where could I get these replacement parts without having to go to the stealership? TIA
