Default New Helmet is done, you need to see this!!!

As some of you know a few months ago I decided to upgrade to the latest snell helmet due to the age of my old helmet. I had the Helmet painted by Indocil Art(www.indocilart.com) and it turned out amazing, I could not ask for a better paint job and the whole team at Indocil was professional and delivered what I believe is better than any shop in the the country could have.

Here are the pics

I did a fairly good job with my last one by just keeping it in a fairly cheap helmet sock when not on the track. Plus I figure this one should provide at least 20 sec a lap at VIR

For me I have been sold on the Corvette since I bought it, so there is no other car... I did have the Jake with c6 eyes put on so I can upgrade to a c6 if I ever want to.

Rob31 - They did take it all apart and put new trim on all the edges. They also sell HANS and can get it all setup on the helmet as well.

Jody, once you paint a helmet you take better care of it. I have a local painter that's good if you want his number. He WAS reasonable when he did mine too, maybe or maybe not these days
