The factory bumper covers are made of polyurethane plastic (you should see the plastic code embossed on the base side of PU, or PUR).

This is pretty common for OE automotive bumper covers across all brands, FYI. It has good toughness and flexibility.

Cheap, aftermarket bumper cover however, typically won't be polyurethane. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much! I wasn't sure where to look and not taking the bumper off for the work I am doing (filling license plate holes, rock chips, a small indentation of unknown origin and some touch up paint).
