Default Non-OEM Parts

Has anyone had any experience with non-OEM replacement parts? I need to get a replacement bumper and replacement trunk lid. Does anyone know where is a good place to get some aftermarket parts like this?

Thanks!!!

Non OEM parts should be exactly the same but cheaper. Like bumper cover for example the aftermarket on is about 40 dollars and after market hood is 80. that like soooo much less than the original. I dono about trunk lid but im sure its the same as original.

my experience with non-oem body parts is very disappointing! Their fit and overall quality is nothing like the origional. I am very hesitant to buy non-OEM body parts...

I'd say spend the extra $$ and get the quality your Honda deserves.

I'd take my chances at the junkyard before getting non-oem body parts.

i think non oem parts such as sheet metal should be fine... but lights etc.... are another story.
