C-West headlight cover

I ordered the C-West air intake headlight cover tonight and was wondering if any of you have it and what do you think of it? I was looking at this one and the FEED version but decided on the C-West be cause the big hump on the FEED is just not doing it for me.

Here are a few pics for those of you who haven't see it.

IMO it is way to expensive. They are like $150 or more. I don't know what you payed for yours but I would not pay over $100 for it. I like them and bet they work really well but that's just too much money for me.

Acutally, I'm the opposite Dr Wankel. I like the FEED version over the C-West. I'll be adding one with the other body parts later this year when I get my car repainted.

I don't hate the C-West cover though, I think it looks nice.

I'm confused. Which is the Cwest and which is the Feed? I thought the ones in the pic above were the Feeds but on the RX7.com website the one with the hump were the Feeds. I need a new headlight cover cause my old one crakced and flew off my car at 115mph.

they only cost $90 at www.rxecret7.com and $85 at the RX7 STORE. it probably comes down to shipping price and where you live closer to. anyway, IMO it looks good and its probably funtional for those of us with FMIC's or for those w/o cold air intakes . i was plannin on ordering one of those somtime soon.

I tried ordering it for the last 2 weeks.. they are all in back order everywhere i checked. I like the knight Sport better, but the C-West is a more reasonible price. I get it for $80 at http://www.rotormotorsports.com. Really nice guy... i didnt even asked for the discount, he just offered it.

Those are on backorder for 3 weeks if not longer.
My opinion is they are not worth it. The hole for air to go through is very small. I had one on my car for a week and sold it.
