OEM vs aftermarket bumpers

I need to relpace my bumper, what is the price difference between a OEM Honda and a aftermarket one? I can get an OEM used from the junkyard for $150 should I go for this? or should I spend $50 more on an new aftermarket or just but a new OEM from Honda?

Whoa $150 there is a place in chicago that could sells them on ebay for like $60.

It depends what you want. Do you want like a body kit or do you want stock? you can always add a lip to stock.

I want to keep everything looking stock, the reason im asking is that I want to know if the aftermarket might not fit as well as an OEM, even if I install a used OEM will it fit better than a new afermarket and look better after the paint job?

Don't go for aftermarket "oem style" bumpers... insurance co. bought an aftermarket for me after my accident, body shop painted it, put it on, didn't fit at all, insurance co. bought OEM after wasting mine and the body shop's time and everything was good for the most part.
