I'd say you're better off with OEM since this comes unpainted. Were you looking for the full kit or just the front? I got the front from my local dealer for <$300. It'll probably run you at least $150 to get this painted I'd think. So you're close to dealer prices.

If it works it works. I've seen aftermarket work just as good as OEM.

Be warned, unless the dealer is one of the vendors here, expect prices to be close to MSRP which is outrageous, like $375 for the front lip. I have a decent relationship with the parts counter at my local Honda and Acura dealers and they will give me online/very close to online pricing.

I think you can get the bumper from one of the vendors here for like 265 or so shipped, which is still very good. No sales tax if out of state too.

might be a good option if you're looking for a discontinued color...i might seriously consider this since cbp side skirts are no longer sold

Also, don't skip the side skirts. Do it right the first time

^wise words. i decided to do it "one piece at a time", and by the time i wanted to get side skirts they were gone in cbp. if it's in your color and it's available, just get it!
