Default Helmet progress pics

Well here it is so far. I'm really liking it. My cousin still has to add some script to it & stuff, but it should be ready by the end of the week. Pics aren't the best. Let me know what ya think. It only cost me $75.

Black w/design laid out.


painting has began




A little added smile

No, thats just where I got a pic of the basic design. My cousin tried to change some small things about it, but I wanted to keep the basic design. I have loved his paint every since I joined the site & thought it would look killer on a helmet.

Its still unfinished & has more stuff to be added to it. I'll be posting updated pics when its completely done. Hopefully this week sometime or first of next week.

No worries there. I'm not really the car show type. Just wanted a helmet w/badass design. Yours just happened to be the best one I have ever found.

Glad you like it man.

Not sure, didn't bother doin that. They never check at our local track. It just sits in my backseat till I'm a car or 2 behind the water box.

looks bad *** man. I had a similar idea I want to do to my dads helmet. just not quite that fancy. got him a used helmet for us to paint black, and either have it airbrushed, or just get a silver decal for it.
just used to sit in the car for the shows. different helmet for the track that he wont have to be so careful with.
