Well if you want the matching fairings, you will need to find them used from a parts bike (might not be nice condition), or you can get the fairings new from Honda (servicehonda.com and other retailers, but they are SPENDY). Otherwise you can get aftermarket fairings and paint them, the paint either has to come from Honda, color rite, or get it matched at a paint store, and then get your hands on the graphics. Still somewhat expensive.
My recomendation, go with an aftermarket kit, or think about repairing the ones you have with a plastic weld kit, clean up the fairings and paint. Otherwise, race replica ones from eBay are somewhat hard to work with, but after doing it enough times it isn't too hard, just touchy.
If you want the black/yellow ones for the 00 F4, I have an extra set, however they are still a bit scratched, and a crack or so. If interested let me know.
There are many ways to approach the bike, just price it out and figure what you want to do.
Peace.

looking for good fairings sucks.....I ordered an aftermarket front and the color was way off, the fitment is not great either. I am still trying to decide between a repaint or an OEM fairing.

Ya, the aftermarket are usually off in color, the OEM is hard to match and Honda keeps the paint reicipe hidden really well. I used to mix auto paint in college, and when I was working on my bike I tried to match with little success.
Aftermarket fairings are also hard to fit (if you look at the print in any of the kits offered on eBay it recomends that one has a professional body man fit them to the bike). I have installed four of these kits now. The first had me swearing all the time, and it was hard to determine how to fit some of the components of the bike into the fairings, such as the taillight and headlight. After working at it, I became decent at it, but by no means great.
