and yes you can purchase the valve cover at the dealership. retail is like 160 for the valve cover, 130 for the plastic cover, and 35 for the mazdaspeed badge. i lucked into it and i might have 80 dollars in the whole thing. word to the wise, get to be friends with the parts manager and service manager at your dealership. they r excited to see what can be done to these cars and believe it or not they want to help you accomplish your goals, whether it be the hookup on some free stuff or selling you the stuff at wholesale or employee cost. just be nice to them.
