What is this???????

Hey guys, can anyone please tell me what this thing is?

It is behind the front bumper on the passenger side. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

should I replace it since it is so rusty looking?

It's the bumper impact absorber. It's made to absorb some of the impact should a forward collision take place. One end goes to the frame and the other to the bumper. There should be 2 up in the front.
