Default Garage Star Carbon Fiber Plug Cover

I am running a batch of 12 carbon plug covers for the 1.8 NA to test the market. The first 12 buyers will get a special rate. If we can get enough people interested I plan on making more plug covers for the 1.8 NA & NB 99-2000 motor (non VVT) and 1.6. The batch of 12 plug covers will be ready next week.

Price for the first 12 people for the 1.8 NA & NB 99-2000 motor (non VVT) will be $110 + shipping.
We need 15 people to start the production run on 1.6 and 1.8 NB With VVT. The first 15 people will get a discount. $110 + Shipping.

Please fill out the form and email it to garagestar@gmail.com.

I know the 1.6 one isnt made yet, but do you have any idea if it will fit if we use the gtx valvecover?

garageSTAR always produces quality products & this is certainly of the same caliber. I may just have to go a different direction with my engine bay after seeing this.

Question Re: Garage Star Carbon Fiber Plug Cover

It's kind of hard to say for sure based on those pictures. I am assuming this piece is coated? In other words, not dry carbon?

Hey....I love my Jet Stream piece despite the "Eunos" stamp

How close is this to the Jet Stream design? Looks like a very close replica.

Here are some pictures of the cover mounted on Dominic's 1.8NA with 99 head. The cover will not fit 1.8 motors with VVT. The cover will fit 94-97 1.8's and 99-2000 motors.

I will make one for the vvt motor. Give me a few weeks. I have to take on of the molds and cut away some of the cover to make it fit. The cover will come with mounting hardware.

This piece needs to be seen in person for full beauty. I own the jet stream piece and although the eunos and roadster are neat on the piece, i think it almost clutters it.

man, this is a exact replica of the jetstream piece. just bc the letters were removed doesn't make it original or any different.

im sad to see this. obviously someone gave up their original jetstream cover to be copied into this Sorry , I don't approve of this.

I suggest you vote with your dollars and not buy it.


One of the main reasons that I did not buy the Jetstream piece was because it had the "eunos" text.

Default Re: Garage Star Carbon Fiber Plug Cover

One suggestion.

I just worked on a car with the JetStream cover and the only improvement I would make, besides your removal of the "Eunos" "JetStream" and "Roadster" embossing, would be the actual mounting hardware.

They can only be tightened with the CF cover on, which prevents, torquing the valve cover in the proper sequence. (This does make a difference)

If you could provide two-piece hardware so you could torque the valve cover with a specialized bolt and then attach the CF piece with bolts that screw into the lower portion of the bolt, it would be an improvement over the original. This is similar to the design of a VGA port on the back of a computer.
