how can you tell rear bumper is OEM? or replica?

looking for a 98-01 rear bumper through classifieds, but i don't want to purchase a replica.

what are some things that i can spot out? besides fitment issues?

It should have a sticker with the VIN on it if it is salvaged from a vehicle. If it is a replacement, it should have a sticker with Honda on it.

Im pretty sure the OEM ones have INTEGRA indented in the passanger side whereas aftermarket bumpers don't
