A bumper module (10) includes: a body portion (16) that is positioned between a front bumper cover (12) and a heat exchanger (14) in a vehicle front-and-rear direction and is disposed extending in a vehicle width direction and the vehicle front-and-rear direction; plural longitudinal ribs (18) that are integrally formed on a lower surface of the body portion (16), extend toward a vehicle lower side, are disposed extending in the vehicle front-and-rear direction, and are lined up at intervals apart from each other in the vehicle width direction; and an air guide rib (20) that is integrally formed on an upper surface of the body portion (16), extends toward a vehicle upper side, guides cooling air from a vehicle front to the heat exchanger (14), and whose front end (20A) is unaligned in at least one direction of the vehicle width direction and the vehicle front-and-rear direction with respect to front ends (18A) of the plural longitudinal ribs (18).
