I have a 2003 Honda Civic, in which we recently re-ended another car. I need to have the AC Condenser and radiator replaced as well as the front bumper cover and front side fenders. Our insurance has only authorized the use of after market replacement parts, but they guarantee the parts for as long as i own the car. Is there a problem with using after market parts as opposed to genuine Honda parts?

I amnot an expert on the field, but where I live, the owner has the option of aftermarket, used or original equipment parts. You may want to contact the state agency that moniters the insurance companies and ask them your options. But if the parts are warrantied as long as you own the car, you really have nothing to lose.

Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

Butting in: Know that whatever is used for parts the A/C has been opened to air which contains moisture so the dessicant in the dryer will have been spent so only a new one can restore it's ability to absorb moisture. It would work without a new one but expect earlier A/C failures and or less than optimal performance. If Winter where the car is - get a written guarentee that it will work come warmer weather as you can't really check that out now,
