Sorry, I wasn't sure where to put this, it didn't seem like a bolt on question as it doesn't have anything to do with the k motor, but anyway...

I pulled out the front bumper today, and this slab of black metal fell out.  Is it really necessary?  Can I keep this off?

Sounds like the bumper weight.  If you have a lip you don't need it.  If you don't...you still really don't need it.  It's supposed to prevent your bumper from buffeting in high winds.

I found out the other day when I had my bumper off that there is a big metal block (5x2x2") and it weighs about 8 pounds. Its bolted to the inside of the bumper support, I just took it out, along with the bumper weight and the intake resonator

That's why we have an "Exterior Styling" forum.  We have more than just K Series forums here.

It could be anything.  Do you have pictures of it?  I agree with the other assumptions that it could be your bumper weight.  But assumptions are the mother of all fuck ups, so I'm not going to give advice until I know what you're talking about.  That metal piece could be anything.  Please post a pic of it so we can confirm what it is and give you proper advice.

That is the bumper weight that you would remove when you put on a front lip.  You don't need it.  You've just achieved Stage 1 Type R weight reduction, yo!
