I just pruchased the Erebuni 123GR Grill, Eyelids and Onderground Mazda Speed Body kit. Plz give me your opinion, I usually have my bra on my car and going to paint these parts but should I paint the eyelids and grill black or match the car. I'll post pics, maybe if someone could Photoshop with black and Body color. Thx

I got it for $125 at http://www.machiii.net

Not problems with the bra leaving rust, only rubbing on the fenders but not to bad.

The only thing is I don't like the lips that overlap the front bumper. I like the lip that just fits under the bumper. They almost look the same, I just hope it will last.

Where is this group buy? Plz let me know, Thnx
 
Thanx Corwin for your help and input, I was able to call onderground and Cxl's the lip and get only the side skirts and rear lip and Great thing, I actually save a few bucks. They should be here soon. Question, I was told that the side skirts don't have any clips or what not to adhear the the sides like the stock one, what is the best way to install the side skirts so they don't sag in the middle?
 
This is what i will more then likely be using...

I just received my lower lip from DG. It is deffently worth it, Thanx Corwin for all your help, I'm defently happier that I got this lip, it will out last the fiberglass one I was going to get. The only trouble I had was UPS deleivered it to the wrong address and someone signed MY name, Pissed me off, had to go to the UPS station, have them contact the drive and pick it up and redeliever it to my house. I installed it to see how the fit was, not bad. Now my only problem is going to be getting in and out of my driveway. It added about 3" to the front. My side skirts and rear lip should be here next week, then I need to have them painted. I've read about people "Molding" the lip to the stock, How is this done? If anyone has input, plz let me know. Thanx I'll post pick soon.
 
Here are some pics of the lip installed w/o prep or paint
