  1. Alright, so this is my rundown of what I did. I do apologize as there are no WIP pics. I went to my local Lowe's and bought some dark window tint. After getting it home and attempting to put it on with the visor still inside the helmet, I figured the best way to progress would be to remove the visor from the helmet. The liner was tricky at first, but once I popped the hot glue (Quality Anovos) I was able to peel it back enough to pop the visor out. After playing around with a different, lighter tiny (this stuff had a sticky backing and left residue all over after I had to remove it due to bubbles and crackling), I decide to scrap the original visor and go with something else. I bought a regular clear face shield and traced the visor shape onto it and then cut it out via dremel. After I put the original static cling tint I bought before on it. Since it was flat, this made getting the bubbles and crackles out super easy. As for the black trim at the bottom, I cut that off the original visor with the trusty dremel and glued it into position on the bucket. From there, I glued in the visor and then glued the liner back down. While not exactly 100% screen accurate, I feel like it is a serious improvement from what originally came with the helmet and I am happy with it. The GML also cleared it for approval based on the current standards, so I will chalk that up as a win. A link to the finished product is here. Wouldn't let me upload the picture directly. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-2pROTMUnaQqsvZozKfahTEav54rAA9t/view?usp=drivesdk
  2. This has probably been posted here before, but does anyone have any tips on making the visor in the Anovos Shoretrooper bucket darker? I just got one today and you can clearly see my eyes, which is the complete opposite of the crl standard.
