By "front end" what do you mean? Hood, bumper, fenders...etc? I know Hmotors online sells a complete front end (Hood,bumper,fenders w/ markers, headlights and turn signals) for 500+shipping.

Call hmotors and ask em for just the bumper.

Or go to a junkyard, front bumpers are usually held on by a few clips.

DIY paint jobs with dupli-color paint from autzone can come out matching very well if you take your time and do good prep work.

spend the extra money and get real OEM honda parts trust me, i've had friends buy cheap remakes of honda body panels and bumpers and the fitment is AWFUL you're going to take a gamble if you buy some almost but not quite OEM fender or bumper....i'd really rather have some hacked up front bumper than a bumper that is falling off because it doesnt fit right because atleast you didnt really pay for it
