'05 Accord Replacement Front Bumper - Aftermarket or OEM?
Hi,
I ran into a wall at a very low speed today :-( and luckily there was no damage to anything but the bumper cover. I want to know your opinions on OEM versus aftermarket for this part. The aftermarket part is 1/2 the price.

And probably half the quality too. You make the call. Honda did not build a reputation for reliability by using cheap parts. In other words OEM all the way.

If it's your car, OEM Honda definitely
If it's a lease that you'll be returning, go cheap and walk away from it.
The VENG unit I had experience with was terrible, poor fit around the lamps and it developed wavy areas over time.
