Default 2001 front bumper reinforcements

i've been looking around to replace my front bumper cover and i've noticed that a couple of places have 'front bumper reinforcements." i believe that they have them along with the GT bumper that they just put on AM too. where do these reinforcements go? i dont recall ever seeing them when i was taking parts off of my car when i started my repairs.

There is a bumper support that is metal behind the front bumper. There is also a foam support to help it keep its shape while driving fast.

Oh I know this one...ME ME ME ME!!!!

They mount on the sides of the bumper to hold tight to the body of the car, I remember this from when I changed one out on a 2000 v6 a while back.
