2005 Accord OEM(?) Front Bumper...

I wrote a thread on this before, but when I was cleaning the inside =
front, I noticed that the plastic part with the Honda logo (grille) was =
a little more flimsy than I recalled before.  I also looked down the =
hole where the trigger to lift the hood up is located and I noticed four =
holes on the bottom of the bumper!  The holes looked as if they were cut =
out or banged out in some way.  I also noticed some holes on the metal =
part in that same area that looked as if some bolts used to be there.

I asked the guy to let me look at another Accord to see if it's the =
same.  I looked at what he told me was an 2006 Accord, and I saw an =
almost horse shoe shaped plastice piece straight to the bottom of the =
front bumper with an official Honda sticker right next to it!  Mine had =
no Honda sticker (the guy said that the sticker could be any place!) and =
of course mine had those rough holes which the guy said was used to =
'drain the water when it rains.'  If that was the case, how come that =
other Accord did not have those holes?  Aside from that, I see flaws on =
the bumper like and extended plastice piece like an extra plastic mold =
stuff on the bumper.

My gut tells me that this is either used or fake.  The guy keeps =
insisting that it is genuine.  Now I am starting to see how the man =
ordered the parts at about 4pm and claimed that they would come in the =
next day by noon!  He happened to be right!  I think I have been taken.  =
To most people they would not care, but when I pay $250 out of my =
pocket, I want what I paid for.
