Body Repair

Replacement Body and Fender Parts
If your vehicle incurs body damage and requires replacement
parts, we encourage you to use only Genuine Honda sheet
metal body and fender parts. Many insurance companies are
specifying imitation sheet metal parts for collision repairs in an
effort to reduce claim costs; however, if imitation parts are us-
ed the following conditions may apply:
There is no assurance that imitation parts will equal the fit
and finish of Genuine Honda sheet metal parts; and in our
experience they often do not.
There is no assurance that imitation parts will resist corro-
sion as well as Genuine Honda sheet metal parts.
Imitation sheet metal parts are not covered by the Honda
Limited Warranty.
To ensure your continued satisfaction with your Honda vehicle
in the event of an accident, contact your insurance adjuster
and insist on Genuine Honda parts in the repair of your vehicle.
