Title: Sci- fi Face shield
Post by: Joe Sull on March 03, 2014, 05:49:07 AM
I had a thread going in January about Japanese driving FJ's and member fb747 posted a set of pic's "Tokyo Toy Run". In this set of photos, a rider wearing a unique face shield. I have been looking for who makes it. I've searched every key word I can think of. Maybe someone knows.

How cool is that!
I want one. You want one!

That looks like a custom graphic applied to the helmet. The graphic over the visor is perforated or a thin translucent film , you see this stuff on buses and even buildings where the image covers the windows.

 :biggrin: I bought a clean used helmet off a guy on the island last fall. I needed something quick. I like the helmet and fits good.
I don't think I'll paint it so I'm thinking like this;
