    1. Yes a lot of the housings do come with the new lens.

    2. Some kits do come with them.

    3. Side rails I think is what you are referring to.

    4. You can do it yourself but be advised this will void your warranty if it is still under one. I will include a link for cnn.cn for the housing. You can also get them on ebay as well.

    They also come included with a full housing.

    3. What is the name for this middle sides and top bottom peices?
    Bottom = Antenna cover. Sides = Rails. Top = No Idea

    I think the bezel they are referring to is the chrome ring that goes around the trackball.

    This housing does not include the side rails that you want. Also, there have been a few posts warning about the housing kits from this seller.

    I am new here not sure if I posted in the right place, but my question is where do I get the adhesive to re glue the lcd protector

    Then the bezel may be the midplate, which isn't in the item listing picture.

    The midplate can be seen in the link mwdb4au gave you a few posts up. It is the large black piece in the picture with the red housing in it. It is the main part of the BB that has the circuit board and everything mounted to it in the final assembly. To you, it would giv eyou the "middle, top part" of the phone, the one with the Mute key.
