Best place to buy parts?

Hi everyone, I'm mostly a lurker but need some help. I'm looking for a front bumper, front passenger headlight, and rear bumper. Where would you suggest I purchase from? I haven't found anything in a salvage yard here in MN so far. I was rear ended from a stop and sent into another stopped car :/ thanks in advance!

www.hondaautomotiveparts.com for authentic Honda parts at a discount over the dealer and they are painted already.
You could also try www.Rockauto.com. They have non-oem parts that are primed and ready to paint for less money.

Many salvages post their parts on ebay

looks like a nice front bumper ready to be painted

rear bumper

headlight

obviously any honda dealer also, just depends on how much you want to spend

It's like Craigslist, it just lets you get in touch with people offering things for sale. I don't use it myself because it leaves things open to too many problems: if something's not right with something you get on CL, it's between you and the random guy you bought it from, just like with car-part.

I have two salvage yards in my region that I use occasionally for work and they're really good. I'd rather trust their knowledge of the used parts world and have their support with any problems if they occur.
