yes they make afternarket oem parts. That is what most collision centers use after a car had been crashed. its cheaper for them, but they still charge you alot.

it should have the OEM part number from honda. i believe you could look up the OEM part # from the Helm's manual. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

or you could go to the dealership and just get a quote on the parts that you need. they should be able to give you a print out with the OEM honda part numbers in it as well.

the oem bumpers comes in flat black............ and, i think they have the word "honda" on the somewhere.......... the hood should have a warning label on the underside, i cant remember what for just now....... the headlights also say honda on them. ill have to go, look, and confirm.........

the headlights should say stanley wether JDM or USDM and should have a DOT serial number on the front of the headlight assembly.

OEM parts have a part# stamped on somewhere. The Helm's manual is not big on part #'s, just how to remove and replace parts. :D

This is easy: if a part has a red Honda sticker on it with a part number, it's OEM. Anything else is less worthy. ;)
