Front lip from Mazda sells for around $600 -

and as for the rear end Frankie got some SE treatment (which cost heaps less and looks better than the 8A kit) -

Our you could go the SE lip and matching MSM look side skirts

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Mania has a black one for an NA at the moment. Same thing really with no de-mister.

Sounds like the paint might not be that special tho given they say it is Matt. Fifth item down on this page:

Those side skirts look a bit strange personally...

I've always loved the factory rear spoiler for the NB8A. I really don't like the ones that overhang on the sides of the boot. My first MX had the full factory kit on it and I loved it (well, besides the front lip... that was neutral for me) so much I'm still tempted to go and buy the bits (well, besides the front lip) again.
