I bought non-OEM replacement body parts and they suck. The fender was okay but the bumper was trash and couldn't get it to fit no matter what we did - it's a lot shorter and makes your car look like trash.

I would just stop being cheap like the rest of the United States and make the car look right.

That's where you can really tell the difference between domestics and imports (Honda, Toyota, BMW, etc.) Non-OEM parts typically do not fit exactly or will not work right or do not look right on these cars. Yet on domestics they may actually look and fit better than the OEM parts.

I agree with sampson body parts are fine but lights and such may be a different story....... If you know what you are doing the non oem bumper will fit fine......
