hah, my friend almost bought that a few days ago...

why so cheap? key words: "OEM STYLE (STOCK)." Its not an original Honda part, but a knockoff bumper for 1/3 the price. Sometimes the fitment isn't perfect on knockoffs and they sustain more damage than OEM parts if you were ever to get into a small collision. You get what you pay for.

I love the auctions where the shipping is as much as the product. But for that money you won't have much at stake if it is a POS

Picture is kinda small, can't see detail. Anyone ever bought one of these. Worst thing would be it didn't look right, warped or somethin.

Its for body shops and ish. Ive seen some front-end damaged ludes at a body shop before and they order this oem style front bumper. Its basically the same design as stock and when fitted correctly, you wouldn't be able to tell it was aftermarket.

I just got one about 2 weeks ago. It fits pretty well . Just make sure you get a good paint guy to do the work. Otherwise the paint will flake off after about 1- 1.5 yrs.

If you can afford it, always get OEM body parts.
