Best place for body parts?
Teenage son had a little fender bender and I need to replace a fender, front bumper cover and some of the other plastic underneath on my 1998 sedan 4cyl. Am curious about your recommendations or experience with auto body parts warehouses. I don't have a whole lot of body work skills, so I need something that will be pretty close. Thanks!

Get Honda parts. Look on the internet. There are several Honda dealers that have online parts stores. Don't think you want to go aftermarket. Haven't heard good things about replacement aftermarket body panels.

Screw that!!! Go to your local junkyard and get some real deals. They will prolly have your exact color, and if not they should be able to paint it for you for cheap.

if you have time, oem part will fine better than aftermarket 10 out of 10 times.
like i said if you have the time to run around in junkyard, getting it sprayed, oem is the way to go.
or you could order aftermarket(oem look alike) part, get it painted while it's at the warehouse and shipped to your door.
you save time that way, and often money on painting since you ordering couple of item together.
good luck
