Question Mazdaspeed Wheel Or Not?

Minus the yellow stitching, is this the MSP wheel? It's stock on the 323 Protege's in the Phillipines, but I'm just wondering if they're the same? That'd look really good in my car! Also, are those MSP seats? And FS-ZE!

They come on the FS-ZE engine, as well as the Mazdaspeed and MP3. You'll need to order the plastic cover as well as the replacement metal cover. The North American Proteges (with the exception of those above) have just a plain metal valve cover. The one you need features mounting pegs for the cover. Both covers and associated hardware should run you about $400CAD last time I checked.

If you're looking for just the cover, DGMorotrsports makes a carbon fiber one that uses brackets to hold it in place instead of needing a whole new cover.

$400CAD? That should run me a little over $250USD right? Hey Maxx Mazda, where was it that you checked? I can easily use one off an MP3 right?

Actually, I remember it being closer to $600CAD for both covers and the hardware. It was early when I wrote that first price! That's right from the dealership. Be carefull though, as the MP3 cover as well as the Mazdaspeed cover feature different logos. The MP3 cover (obviously) features the MP3 logo in the little circle space, while the Mazdaspeed cover and the J-spec covers feature just the chrome "flying M" emblem.

If you were to pirate them off a wrecked MP3, it won't be hard as long as you get both covers and switch the logo.

Here's a quick pic of the J-spec / European valve cover with the Mazda logo.

I'm sorry man I must've not explained myself briefly, what I meant to type about the MP3 was the metal cover. An MP3 cover should fit right?

Dang, $600CAD?! Thats quite a bit. But hey, thanks for the help Maxx Mazda.
