i found it interesting you can request genuine parts rather than the used or aftermarket parts the other party’s insurance is insisting i use, and quoted me for.

ACURA GENUINE COLLISION PARTS
After an accident, you have the right to replace any damaged parts with Acura Genuine Collision Parts in order to maintain the quality of your vehicle.
Here are a few of the important reasons why you should insist on Acura Genuine Collision Parts:
Fit
Many imitation parts have fit problems, ranging from twisted metal to misaligned mounting holes to major gap variances.
Finish
Many imitation parts have primer coats that are inconsistent and thinner than the Genuine Parts.
Rust and Corrosion
These can become your vehicle’s worst enemy, because not all steels are created equal.
Safety
Because aftermarket parts may not be manufactured to Acura’s demanding specifications, they may not offer the same level of protection in the event of collision.
For replacement parts that fit properly, function correctly and are covered by Acura’s Replacement Warranty, insist on the exclusive use of Acura Genuine Collision Parts for the complete repair of your vehicle.
