Default car got hit, need help...

so i got rearended last night and the guy told me to go get an estimate and he would give me cash to get it fixed.

so i went out and got an estimate for it and it is just the rear bumper that has damage and it needs to be replaced. i plan on saving some money and i know a painter that will paint it for cheap but i need to find where i can get a new bumper.

i dont want to buy off ebay cause there are so many scammers on there and i checked out tasauto also but are there any other sites you would recommend???

and should i go with OEM or an aftermarket bumper??? there is a considerable price difference between the two...

If the guy is paying for it, go OEM.

Yeah seriously why even ask, OEM if he's paying, I paid for mine (bro somehow backed into the house???) and went aftermarket, it looks just they same but saved me a bundle

When I had my bumper redone, guy had a catalog of Import Cars he thumbed through for it, dunno if that helps at all, some of the honda tech's out here may know the answer.

The only really noticeable difference is fitment, aftermarket doesn't fit quite as well as OEM
