Certifit makes OEM replacement bumpers. There are some other companies too. I say as long as it fits like OEM, who cares.

There are alot of companies that produce at OEM quality, just make sure its 1) not fiberglass and 2) the seller has good feedback (if you buy on ebay).

I purchased a great replacement front bumper, fit like OEM, works like OEM and saves about $200

Newer OEM bumpers have vin stickers on each body panel/part of the car. There are companys that sell taiwan version replicas.

I used to have some EK4 bumpers that said Honda on the inside. Don't know if that helps. I have a dark blue JDM front bumper sitting around. It has the Honda Access glue-on moldings on it. I'll check tomorrow or something to see what it says on the inside of that one.

The VIN number sticker applies to bumpers and certain body parts that came from another vehicle, and those parts are used. A new bumper (or body parts that require a VIN sticker) from Honda would not come with a VIN sticker at all. It should come with a sticker that the buyer/ body shop would put on and it should say "H DOT" just to let someone know that, the part in question is a quality replacement part from Honda and not from a aftermarket manufacturer. Though, sometimes the "H DOT" sticker is not applied. Another way to tell if the bumper is from Honda is the fact that Honda etches the Honda part number of the bumper on the inside of it as well as part description. There is also a small sticker that would be placed at the bottom of the bumper on the inside also saying the part description, part number and Honda on it. I have a good example on my bumper 4 sale .

i have a local place that sells them for 80 bux

i got mine primered for 80 bux before i got my car painted. i suggest jsut buying the primered one and painting it urself (if u kno what ur doing) cuz paint is most of the time more than the price of the bumper. if u dont kno wth ur doing then i suggest just dishing out extra dough cuz thats ur only choice

and the 200 at honda bumper, thats no paint, no primer, and no plastic adhesion. which means u gotta get all that ^ onto the bumper ur self which can be a hassle most of the time

imma look for some on ebay. If anyone knows of any shops in SD let me know please. I just installed my fogs on my si and i think it looks uglier.

Just remeber the cheaper the bumper that means the worse it fits!
