so yeah i ordered an "OEM" coupe front bumper from the stealership yesterday and i picked it up today..when i placed the order i asked the guy if it's OEM and he's response was. "Yes we order straight from Honda" so im like ok then i'll take it..

so i picked it up today during my lunch break..and i just got home and unpacked the bumper..to my surprise the inside of the bumper it says
"MADE IN MEXICO"..wtf..lol..and i have a feeling it's not OEM now..whatchu guys think?

all OEM honda bumpers will have a small paper red and white sticker inside of it with the part number printed. They also will have white writing similar to a crayon inside of them which refers to the batch number for quality control and returns purposes

If you got it from the dealership, then I'm pretty sure it's real, lol.

Not everything is manufactured in Japan... I wouldn't get shaken up because it said it was made in Mexico...
