That appears to be a knock off of the c-west headlight cover. Theres been alot of talk about these intake headlight covers, and most seem to say they don't work. Try searching around on "c west headlight cover" or "feed headlight cover" i'm sure you'll be able to come up with alot of threads about these. Your best bet is to get a factory headlight cover, wether used or new.

Yea...I figured it wasn't a C-west when the description said "exact style as C-West headlight cover".

I think it looks neat and not too ricey. I don't really need it to improve my speed much. 75 is the fastest I need to go ;-)

So then post a WTB (wanted to buy) in the 3rd gen for sale section about a headlight cover. A lot of people look for these, but then again a lot of people sell them. Look there, you should get one fairly cheap, the people here are not too bad

Theres no reason to be a smartass, I just looked at the pics.

If your buying it for looks, then why are you asking if its legit? If your talking about the seller, check his feedback.

This is everynite, welcome.


Also, to crazed, the fitment of an ebay item maybe sloppy, or just down rite unusable. The cover is most likely fiberglass and they produce these as cheap as possible, so sometimes they come out good and sometimes you're f***ed.

I have posted a WTB...check my posts.
Apparantly these fresh feeds are in short supply. The only guy that offered me one is this flakey guy that couldn't tell me if it was FEED, C-WEST or KDS<- which don't even make one. Then he tells me I would have to have it re-fiberglassed to fit.

SO....since you can't seem to get any more FEED's or C-WEST's anymore, I know this one on ebay was a knockoff of C-WEST...let me re-state my original question.

I know this is not a true C-WEST Fresh Feed Headlight Cover. Does it fit the RX-7 headlight correctly and is it good quality. Has anyone bought one in the past. I've checked the seller's profile and I counted 5 other sales of this cover. The responses were all something like 'fast shipment' etc. Nothing about the fitment.
