You can go with OEM, Lings is good but I've had a better experience with Hendy Honda in the UK.
The replica is probably the same one sold on ebay by overseas vendors. The bumper is most likely produced by TYG (Tong Yang Group) and is an almost identical copy to the OEM one. The only difference I could find with this bumper and the OEM Honda one was the location of some mounting holes. The replica needed 4 holes to be drilled out/relocated for the grill. A handful of the bumpers also didn't have the holes on the front bottom of the bumper to fit the OEM CTR front lip. Both issues are easily fixed and well worth the lower cost compared to the OEM Honda option. Also, TYG is one of the main 'aftermarket' bumpers used by US autobody shops when insurance companies wont pay for OEM parts.
Hope this helps
