are you kidding me?
well to be a nice guy, you can get the mazdaspeed kit in your color of choice from dealers.
with aftermarket companies like veilside, you gotta get it fitted and painted from a bodyshop(or a dealer).

Depends. You can get the MS kits or the Mazda Aero kits pre-painted from vendors. Not sure about third party kits. Don't worry too much, good paint shops should be able to match your car colour just fine.

left nut {DEALERSHIP EXPENSIVE} . I should be getting mine next week and I will be taking it to a body shop to have them install it. If your going to spend the money you might as well get pro work . There's lot of choices and thats your call. some people like one but not the other.
MY 2 cents

look around in the body kit thread here and in the multimedia thread and i am sure you will find a kit that tickles your pickle.....dont let a dealer do it because all dealers farm there work out to body shops any way and there are 2 groups making profit......cut the middle man out, save a buck and find a good autobody guy.....there has to be some one out there in utah that has skills.....and do not buy any cheap garbage knock offs from ebay.....

Make sure you check through the forum vendors section, you can get body kits from many of them.
Can I just say from an aesthetic standpoint, a bodykit shouldn't be the first thing you get. Nothing looks worse than a car with stock ride height, stock wheels, stock exhaust and some outrageous bodykit. Even if you don't care about performance and are just modding the car for looks, the body kit is the last thing you should get.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you sound noobish, so your car is probably stock. Start out with some suspension mods, maybe some wheels. After you get to know the car a bit and have looked around this forum and seen the kits that are out there, then do the bodykit.

heres a good order:
tints
-windows
-lights
-anything else you want tinted
lower the car
-feel free to add other suspension mods, but you really just want to drop it a few inches, esp in the front
rims
-gots to have nice rims
then comes the bodykits.
and oh yeah.. performance. or w/e. :P

From the factory the wheel gap between the tire and fender is greater in front than in back, Some springs/coilovers drop the front more than the back to compensate for this. Here's mine on Tein S-Tech springs which drop 1.4" in front, .7" in back. Nice and even:
