its just a helment, aslong as it will protect your head in a wreck who cares what it looks like. Hopefully you wont ever have to test the helment.

He is wanting to paint his car like that guys, not paint the helmet like his car lol... idk imo i think that design is to extravagant for painting it on, you could get the car wrapped in a vinyl or some sort to acheive that look, the blue is pretty sweet, but im a fan of white lol...

doubt you can even wear that helmet at the track

at the local track ( PIR ) your helmet needs to be SA rated

LMFAO!!! hell yeah!

Yeah man this helmets probly saved my life so much. Ive had about 5 Concusions in the last year and a half. Motocross has just really torn me up cuz i was the kinda kid that would just be like... FUCK IT im goin for it and it never really paid off. but the helmet was worth every penny.

So maybe electric blue ? or what would that kinda blue be called ??

Thanks once again guys :bigok:

i dunno shit about colors - lol

i know what a rollcage feels like on a elbow or leg... - i personally would do a reddish orange and bright blue tho -

keep it light blue - like the greddy cars blue - and a dark orange (like chevy red/orange)

Yeah i really like the color on the car you have for your Sig. It sucks that greddy is goin outta business. If i had money i would help them out as much as i can.

Do you think a KA24E-T will make it around before it blows ? lol i just installed a T3/T4 hybrid turbo kit and im hoping it lasts cuz i dont have much money left. but later on i should have some more coming in. Then ill worry about getting either SR or just building the KA cuz i like the simplicity of my engine. and has all the torque i need to get it side ways.

any ways. Soon as i get the painting equipment. Any of you guys know where to buy paint online or any where in So*Cal ??

Thanks !:bigok:

Don't dare paint that s15 converted nissan that light blue! (can't quite tell if it's a s13.5 or s14.5)

talk about a rice color....Sorry but I've seen too many really really gay baby blue ricers around. The one exception is the Greddy s15, I give this an exception simply b/c it's a proven drift beast and has earned it's respect.

paint the helmet white.

Its an S13.5 the conversion doesnt really look that good cuz i went with ebay on it so doesnt line up well.

I just want a bright color for when im on the track. Its not gonna be street driven. my neighbor is giving me there car trailer and im gonna tow there car where ever i go..

ive herd a few ppl say that to me before. So im still not sure. cuz i really like that car just not sure if its worth it?

Thats pretty clean. I was thinking of getting vinyls over the paint for the same theme as my helmet or atleast close to the look.

Cuz i really like the blue,orange,silver tribal sorta look.

go to a place that sells auto paint. At the place near where i live they have this device that uses an optical sensor of some type to get the closest match to anything you bring them

So if you bring in your helmet they can come up wit ha mix that will be extremely close to the color on your helmet

I think it looks pertty cool...

I don't know about motox but I've been riding sport bikes and doing road race events for a while now and... if I even drop my helmet, let alone have it save my life... I'd replace it; no questions asked. I don't [email protected]#* around when it comes to protecting my head.

Anyway, I hope you're talking about the same helmet you bought and replaced, not just the exact same helmet... you know what I mean?

OK, end of rant... On another note... Light blue paint job and vinyl graphix ftw!

Sometimes I feel like when you have a helmet that matches your car, you end up looking like a Power Ranger

LOL! but i dont know why, and not to sound gay or anything... but, that yellow rangers crotch is very noticable... and this is supposed to be a kids show! not like they notice it, but yeah, just needed to state that.

and about the helmets... i just like a simple black one. not too much a fan about those colors on the helmet, but hey, its your car.

Hmm, so the yellow Ranger must not be a female anymore...???

last I recall, Trini (as SHE was called in the original series) was a woman. Considering that's not the original, I would HOPE that's a man!!
