recently had an animal run into my car and it destroyed my bumper. I
took
my ride to the Honda dealer for repair and my insurance is Geico. I made
sure that I requested an original OEM bumper. I was able to get an OEM on
my wind****eld that cracked for no reason, so I want to make sure that the
car stays with original parts unless of course "I" happen to actually
cause
damage due to my neglegnece. SO far, things just happen to this car that
is
beyond my control.
Is there anything to look for as far as identifying the bumper as original
OEM? It is the front bumper by the way.

For what its worth, I've been told that after market body parts are not
made
to exactly match the OEM parts by design. Something about patents and
such.
My brother fixes cars at a body shop and tells me that quite often when
working with non-oem parts he needs to modify them to make them fit. (cut
off a bit here and there, drill extra holes, bend something, etc...) He
agrees with another poster saying that used oem is preferable to after
market.
