Yes, nice car! 
I think the bra looks good, but I never understood them. I don't think they do that much for you, and with just such a small width on only the hood why bother, you might as well cover the whole front bumper.

I don't mean to be the odd ball, but is it the picture quality or the paint actually don't match? But it still looks good. That the first time I see a FD with the factory side skirts other than the catalog. But like everyone else said get you a lip and color ,atch it so it doesn't look off place. Love the wheels

Welcome to club. Your car looks nice.
That part of the hood takes a beating from road debris. However, bras often do as much damage (or more) as road debris. Consider replacing it with some of that clear 3M paint protection tape stuff.
Get an R1 lip. There was a recent thread in here (<1 month ago?) that listed a source with a good price.
And then just enjoy it. Don't get on the modification treadmill too soon (there's always something to upgrade).

Erebuni makes a fiberglass copy of the factory side skirts, or at least they use to. Here are some pics of them that someone on ebay was selling about a year ago.

Yea lose the bra..
I sported one of those Hood bras for a while, and it totally
Fuqed my paint on the hood. Yea it does more harm than good.
BUT if your paint is already jacked up.. I Guess you should leave it on.

i think it might be just better to buy the originals. replicas usually don't have the snug fitment that factory skirts have...
