Anovos Shoretrooper Helmet Visor Tinting

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.

I would try putting some tinting on the lens and see how you like it.  I've done that with other helmets before and it's worked well.

Putting a motorcycle helmet visor tint on to the inside is the way to go, that’s what most have done.

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.
