New struts and springs are next, just waiting on the struts. Also I'm going to get some clear corners as well. I'm pretty happy with it so far, hopefully you guys will approve!

lookin good donny, ive always liked the oem lip kit, agree that lowering is the next step, then i would go for a rear lip and maybe the msp oval exhaust to finish off the look youve started

Thanks Man! Yeah, after lowering I wasn't exactly sure where to head after that. I was under the impression that the rear valences were pretty tough to find? I hadn't consdiered the MSP exhaust, will defintely look into that though.

yeah, the rear lip is tough to find, but keep your eyes peeled in the for sale section, they do occasionaly come up for sale, also i think mazdastuff.com sells them
 
Find a mechanic and get them to order it from Mazda. My friend gets a 20% discount on OEM parts.
 
a little update hehe (thumb)

I like this shot a lot! You are motivating me to get my swap done, that front bumper looks 10x better than stock.

Looks good. You had to get an MP3 valve cover to get the plastic piece to bolt on, correct?
 
Redwagon02 included the DG motorsports brackets so I could screw it onto my valve cover :)

nice cover :)

I got the MSP Valve cover and painted it Black with the MSP Trim, and since i got the MSP valve cover it came with the studs/bolts for the mounting of the trim :D now I just need a MSP oil cap to complete that look :D oh and i finally need to install my obx header... it's been in the garage for weeks!

where would i find a radio bezel like that?

Well the Bezel goes to my Pioneer radio (the trim around the HU) so you need to get one for your HU. If you are talking about the radio pocket below the HU, I bought it from a user here.
