Who told you this? Go to www.hardtopguy.com and send an email (or talk to) Joe of Jeff. Just check out their website, and you will see all new parts come prepainted from Honda. These guys are known on the internet and are a very good / trustworthy supplier of OEM Honda parts. Have you heard of Ganley Honda in Ohio? That's who these guys are. They have very good service. Once, Jeff delivered a spoiler to a customer in person. The guy lived one state over.

On top of all that, they have the best prices you will find. No, I'm not affiliated with them in anyway, just one of their customers.
