Default Repair & Repaint - Aftermarket?

I had a bit of a scuffle with a Dodge Ram, and boy did he win. I'm replacing the rear bumper, trunk lid, and tail lights.. and trying to see if there is anything out there aftermarket to upgrade.. but so far I'm finding I just love the look of the stock s2k rear. Only thing I haven't been able to find many options on are tail lights.. they're blacked out and pretty nice as is.. are there really any other options besides stock?

So far the only thing I find appealing is the OEM wing on the OEM lid.

Any recommendations for sites to point the shop to, to save money over ordering from our local dealer, or is that just how they do things? Best pricing I found through google was: http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto

Stay oem. If you have an ap1, I would upgrade to ap2 tails and rear bumper. If not, there are no other options for our taillights, just oem. Also yes an oem wing on the oem trunk is what I would do as well.

Coming from an AP2 owner, I'd stick with the AP1 rear--way more aggressive IMO. Love the AP1 bumper in particular, looks great with a diffuser!

Best looking rear is AP2 oem IMO, unless you get Ap1 with diffuser.

Sorry I forgot I didn't set my signature up. I have a Laguna Blue AP2.

Definitely stay OEM and add the OEM spoiler (not the wing- the spoiler)
