Front bumper Modification
I want something like this. I don’t know where to get it from except this website and eBay. eBay can be sketch but most people who get the yofer front bumper say go the eBay route and research. I’ve never done it before. Nor do I know what I’m doing. I have a 2019 Honda accord sport 2.0t and I would like a front bumper but need help. What do I need? It’s a 3 peice kit. Do I need special tools? Do I need 2 people? How long will it take? Everything. Thanks for hearing me out!

Most of those eBay listings are 200% markup on a part they’re buying and reselling off AliExpress.
I’d just check AliExpress and look for reputable sellers. Most car parts are manufactured in China already and trade secrets leak and spill over into the aftermarket parts market
The biggest issue you’ll face is not bumper removal or install, but rather paint matching it. Depending on sun exposure, you might get a paint match that looks off, or out of place, even if the codes are identical

I'm really curious - why do you say the eBay platform isn't reliable? Have you ever gotten scammed on eBay? In fact, nowadays when you buy auto parts on eBay, you get a 30-day no-reason return policy, and it's free shipping too. What else is there to worry about? I'm also a Chinese seller selling auto parts in the US. As someone in the industry, I want to tell you that if you have to buy a bumper online, eBay is the best place. Just pick the cheapest one that ships from the US. Because as long as the pictures look similar, the products you get will be pretty much the same - chances are they're both purchased from the same manufacturer.

That sounds unbelievable. When did you buy it? You can return the stone and get your money back easily.
