I had my helmet painted to match the car and here is a picture of the final and most important modification to the helmet. . .

Here's mine. And for the record, I DO drive around with the Speed Racer soundtrack playing...at least in my head.

Harlequin, I painted mine with some rattle cans from a hobby store. You don't have to remove the hardwear, just tape over it, or paint over it. I did prep it with cleaner, and them wet sanded it before a clearcoat. All told it cost about $40. The logos came from an RC car sticker kit.
   Not a pro job, but then I don't worry about dinging up a $500 paint job at the track.

I appreciate your support. Actually, being in this place makes me miss everything we take for granted at home...family, good food, roads, people who speak English, roads, being clean, roads, a cool or warm place to sleep, roads....5 months to go before I can smell the oil burning, hear the orchastra of exhaust, feel the vibration through the shift and stare at her curves....just 5 more months....!
We received an airplane load of Christmas presents from the States yesterday and had a nice party before we leave for another mission. I was astounded that someone (don't know who) sent a pack of the most recent Excellence Magazines. God must be truly be watching over me! To all: We appreciate your support. Without you guys keeping the faith back home, we would lose it here. Remember why we are here, remember those in New York that won't have families to celebrate Christmas with this year. Unlike this place, you can go to the movie, the grocery, to school and any where you like without fear. By taking the fight over here, they are unable to take it to our country. Besides the obvious, I can't think of another place I would rather be for Christmas. Soldiers have been my part time family for 19 years. As we celebrated Thanksgiving in our own way, so will we Christmas. Thanks to you guys, the USO, and our families back home, Christmas won't be just another day here, it will be special, one we will always remember, one we hope to never experience again, but proud we did.
