Front Bumper

Probably a stupid question, but on front bumpers on many trucks there are two vertical bars that attach to the bumper. What are they called so that I can purchase them?

Most of the time I hear people call them bumperettes. Don't know if it's correct terminology, but everybody seems to know what they are when you call them that.

They are called bumper guards. They are a little hard to find, but are around at some junkyards.
