Hmm, I kind of like it. (maybe b/c mine's black already so everything matches)

Great paint match and it goes nicely with the overall scheme of your car

It's OK, but personally, I wouldn't have gotten the fake rear mesh painted silver like that. It makes that part look, well, even more fake.

I guess now you'll never have to worry about getting wax on those black pieces...a pain in the rear to get off!

for some reason it looks like it's a DIY - the colors on the black plastic pieces look just slightly off. maybe it's just the texture coming through that makes it look cheaper than the rest of the car.

I like the idea of painting the lower bumper—but with the lighter colors, like silver, I think it makes the rear of the car appear too big—like its got a big butt. Maybe Mazda made the lower bumper dark to trick the eye into thinking the rear is smaller than it is.
