Replacing Front Bumper Fascia
I've got a '97 Accord EX (4-dr Sedan) that has had some pretty bad luck with the front bumper. The bumper needs to be replaced and I was wondering if anyone had any good places online that they would recommend ordering the part from... I would like to avoid having to purchase the front bumper through a body shop, as they are already quoting me $250 for the part. I realize a bumper will be expensive regardless, but if I can save any cash that would be great.
Also, any tips on replacing the front bumper fascia on this vehicle would be greatly appreciated. I know to remove the battery to avoid accidental airbag deployment, but if anyone has any special tips, tricks, or advice for this job please let me know!

I recommend a Honda bumper for fitment and reliablity, but eBay is a great place to find replacement bumpers
As far as replacing goes, you're gonna have to remove the 4 12mm bolt holding the actual bumper structure to the chassis, just to get at the plastic rivets holding the bumper cover to the structure.
