Reds2kracer, could you post pictures of your C-West cooling plate? To my knowledge, C-West does not manufacture such a product. If they did I doubt it would be cheap

They do, I got mine from their website. I'd paid 189.00 for it and that's why I said that I'd paid too much for something that's so thin which looked kinna cheap, also sorry about the pic cause I don't have a scanner.

I think you should make your own, by looking at this peice I think I can make one which will be of better use cause I can make it so that it covers ever single part so that air does not leak around the plate. As for mine, I think I'm going to put so 3M double sided tape on it too so that air doesn't leak on the sides or around the plate. If you guys want a nice carbon fiber finished one you can check out mastergrade.net for their version of it, it's more pricey but it doesn't have the cut for the air to flow up to the stock air box but that's if you're using a CAI.

I agree with you. I dont believe they have one unless it came out within the last 6 months. I have always used Garage Defend panels but I actually got a Js racing panel which I never new existed and it is different. Its thicker than my Garage Defend panel but they do look similar. Plus it came straight from J's Racing Japan. Odd. I have never seen a Cwest panel. Infact on all of their cars they dont have a CF panel due to the intake/radiator setup. But I may be wrong. Pics please..

Putting the radiator at an angle will have far more effect than some cheap assed CF bling!

Haha but there is a slight cost difference between a half VMount setup and a carbon cooling panel
