      that would be what he's talking about, you would need to have one custom fabbed, machine shop/metalworker could get it done.

        Um, well I doubt they make a valve cover for the protege . It ain't called a spark plug cover, but its called a spark plug cover. I'm not sure what you would be able to do. You maybe can find a place to custom build you one or paint it

          I doubt there is one for our cars, but its very good idea. There is always dirt around my spark plugs, but I cannot see my car right now, so I have no idea how one would hook it up to the valve cover.

            unfortunately nothing for the 1.5, however there is one, but only for the 1.8 miata valve cover. i'll have pics this weekend of it installed.

                You say their is a valve cover made specifically for the miata? And I know the motors from the miata and the EX protege are the same (1.8l) but since the miata is rear wheel drive, the motor does not sit the same way as the protege motor. Will the valve cover fit?

                  Check that out. Someone polished their valve cover by themselves hrm.... maybe someone should buy lots of valve covers and polish them by hand and sell them!

                    ok i'm confused by torpedos comment that there is no valve cover for the 1.5L engine... all engines must have one and what do you mean by "its not called a spark plug cover, its called a spark plug cover"...
                    ... out of curiousity how much difference is there between the 1.8L valve cover and the 1.5L one... i know the underside is different but if the top is the same then couldn't we have spark plug covers made for both engines? do a group buy ... i saw one a while ago for the first gens 1.8L engine so i'm sure we could do one for the 1.5L/1.8L engine

                      LOL My bad. I didn't know i screwed up.. I meant its not called a spark plug cover its called a valve cover my bad.

                      "Um, well I doubt they make a valve cover for the protege "
                      When I said that, i also meant they do not create aftermarket valve covers. You know, like the polished ones you'll see on popular hondas and stuff. So you'll have to do it.... manually

                        ok, the 1.5L and 1.8L valve covers ARE different. no arguments there, no need to go into details.

                          ok, in this link...

                          ...the shiny thing with the letters "dohc 16-valve, mazda" that's the valve cover.
                          between those letters/words, theres a "cover" covering the spark plugs & wires, therfore the name "spark plug cover".
                          sorry none for the 1.5
                          this thread is depressing...

                            torpedo he wasn't asking about the valve cover he was asking about the spark plug wire cover in the center... so he was asking about the correct thing... i'm sure you can find some place to make one or offer to do a group buy as i mentioned earlier... they are a nice addition to an engine as far as looks go
