Default KEYSTONE VS. OEM replacement bumper and fender.

I have to get a new bumper and fender for the R since a guardrail jumped out at me recently and I am trying to decide between and OEM Front Bumper and Fender or the Keystone replacement Bumper and Fender. I wanted to know if any of you have had any experience with the Keystone parts. Thanks

Go with OEM, it is always better. You cn most likely find the parts you need here in the classified's for cheaper.

Yeah my friend works at a body shop and says that they do get some good stuff from keystone but that the majority they have to send back. I'd go with OEM.

I been working at a bodyshop for two year's now ( tech's helper). Let me tell u how keystone part's fit.......LIKE SHHIIITTT!!! I hate putting Keystone part's on new car's or any car's. Dam insurance companies **** there customer's car by using these crap part's. Then they want them to fit better than O.E.M which is impossible to do.

Aftermarket bumpers will not have the "Integra" embossed in the bumper either, as it would violate trademark rights. I recently learned this when having my front bumper replaced. If it is an insurance claim, you can refuse the aftermarket bumper for this reason.

Well Im glad I consulted here before making my choice. Regarding the guardrail that jumped out, I was enjoying too much of an offramp turn and lost the rear I regained it but it took out the drivers turnsignal.
