Front/Back bumper.

Searched the forums a tad and found the OEM rear bumper
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=360555145939&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=99689502186 which I read is pretty good quality. But I can't find the front bumper and side skirts anywhere. If like to buy it new, without paying an arm and a leg. My back bumper recently cracked, hence the reason I'm searching. One last question without painting the entire car, will the body pieces look funny since their newly painted

EDIT: found the side skirts I believe, but only comes with 1

The link you posted is for a front bumper. And the link for the side skirt is just the skirt cap, not the entire skirt.

But regardless, the factory bumpers and skirts are the best quality your going to find. Probably cheaper too. I would check with your local junkyard to see if they have any 97-99 Eclipse's in the yard. That would allow you to get all factory parts and any hardware/brackets you need. While your at it, you might want to find some 95-96 Talon side skirts. They look much better than Eclipse side skirts IMO.

And yes, it's very difficult to match paint, especially if it's not factory. You could have the paint analyzed by a shop and have them mix up a close match. There's still a chance they won't look dead-on, but can still look good if done right. Your other option is to have the parts "blended" by a shop. That basically means they will paint the new bumpers and side skirts with matching paint, then paint the surrounding panels while gradually thinning the paint. But this could cost over $1,000 just for 1 bumper. And since they would be blending everything from front to rear, you might as well just paint the entire car. Is your paint the factory color?

I would just look on classifieds for the body pieces you need or buy the certain pieces you need from a junkyard and have a shop match the paint to yours and paint them to match the rest. Cheapest option would be to find some pieces in good condition with same paint as yours at a junkyard, craigslist, or classifieds.
