your best bet would be the junkyard or ebay. STAY AWAY FROM AFTERMARKET OEM REPLACEMENTS! they will not fit the same. worse case scenerio the dealer wouldn't be a bad option, just alittle more pricer.

dealers are quite expensive for that stuff but it is worth it cause the fitment will be dead on. i have bought from continentalautoparts.com before and as long as u get the certifit stuff its not bad.

@ OP:
Ignore this guy ^^^^
When dealing with cars with tight body tolerances like MKIV/V VW's, BMW's, and Mercedes Benz's - it is important to stay away from aftermarket OEM replacements, but when you're dealing with cheaper Honda/Acura (especially civics and integra) - aftermarket body parts fit 100% - especially if they're from a reputable OEM aftermarket company.
