Not really sure what to call it, but here's some pics of my problem:





After looking at the other side it looks like there was a plastic rivet that went in there (which is over course gone on this side). What can I do to go about fixing this? I'm planning on taking this car to a couple of car shows, so I'd like the fix to match the other side as much as possible.

Call Malloy Mazda and see if Ray can get you a handful of the stock plastic removeable pop rivets. Fold the liner back behind the fender lip and replace as needed. Not sure if you're also missing the bolt that fastens the bottom of the liner with the plastic undertray for the oil cooler.

There are a number of holes along the bottom of the fender liner (3 if I remember correct), as well as some in the middle of the fender liner. If you take off the plastic piece under the lower front of the car (under the front spoiler, radiator, etc.) you should have access to the holes that these plastic rivets went into, and you can replace at least some of them with nuts / bolts.

If you want the cheapish fix, you could tie wrap the fender liner out of the way also.

Yeah, there should be a few fasteners that hold everything together there. Shouldn't be that much to get a handful of them.

You can also hit up a pick-and-pull junkyard and get 'em off of 90s Mazdas. I've gotten some off 626's and the like for basically free.
