Engine color

[Shane5425]

Unless you want a ricemobile.....

Powdercoat (not paint) the valve cover black or the exterior color of your car.

Please don't paint all the other stuff and get wierd color hoses. It looks very tacky. I don't understand how that would get any points in a show.

Just because it is there, doesn't mean is should be painted.

awwe why not, bright ass pink everything.. wooo hooo(rockon)

naw, going black again..

Thats the kind of look I want under my hood. Im going to have my strut bar and air filter from my CAI red. I might have a couple more things painted or powdercoated besides just the valve cover (heat shield, fuse box, radiator shroud). Im not going to go nuts under the hood. Just enough to get some attention when I lift the hood open. I like your paint job though. Looks classy, real nice.

i have red.

Quick question: Are there spark plug covers available for the Mazda Protege? This is what I mean: http://www.seffects.com/parts/AEM20060x.htm

Nope. You have to custom make one

I would of got one already if it was readily available. But its not, so Im stuck here asking some of the vendors on this forum to look into possibly producing a cover for me. And for anyone else who might want one or plan on having an EVO style hood with vents in it. I don't want anymore CELs because of a "misfire in cylinder 3".

He can't use an engine cover from an msp. The hole for the oil cap is on the right and he has a 1.6 with the cap on the left.
