Parts like fenders and bumper?

im guessing it would depend on the quality of the parts you buy. ebay parts probably wouldnt look as good as ginuwine mugen parts.

whatever you do don't buy eBay parts, they usually end up fitting like crap especially if there from wierd companies. Buy your parts from the actual wholesale distributor or from an
offical distrubutor that gets there parts directly from the wholesaler, those parts will actually fit properly 99 times out of 100. Or else you'll just end buying cheap crap.

i got a bumper from speedteck for my 89 civic hatch, it was made for an 89 civic hatch but did not fit properly, there was alot of cutting necesary, but in the end it looked good.

Wings West is the only company i've encountered with near-perfect fitting parts.

Simple pieces off of EBay aren't too bad. I bought a Freedom Design replica lip for my Golf a couple years ago and I was actually really happy with the product... and I saved almost 200 bucks on it

Aftermarket body parts don't always fit as good as oem, and even still there is usually some playing around to get "perfect" fitment.

if you cheap out first, youll end up paying more in the end to get it to look right...ironic

screw aftermarket body parts. the only ones u should consider are sideskirts, front and rear lips where fitment isnt usually a big issue. u dont need roofscoops, hoodscoops, body kit pieces, z3 fenders or any other junk

I am helping out my friend who got into an accident and OEM parts are very expensive. He has no choice but to go aftermarket. He has no kit, no nothing it's a simple 2001 Prelude thats it.
