Depends on how fancy you want to get. The Censport webpage spells out pricing and options and my experience was a great one in dealing with Tyler.

^ that looks really nice! i like the colors and subtle fades. troy lee, as far as i have seen has poor quality as far as finish and quality goes. they don't take the trim off before they paint and it shows, and they are damn expensive.

btw i am the one who painted rick's helmet.

None of it is tape, if I recall correctly? The only thing I had him do was put on the Arai sticker and clear coat over it in the front. I've had them do a few helmets for me over the years and love their work.

LAPS INC: That is a sharp-*** helmet!

tylere36m3: I can only speak from my experiences, but, 'none' of my helmets from Troy Lee have ever faded or been poor quality. And I still have helmets in excellent shape from 12 + years ago too.

All paint, no tape. Crest is hand painted as well

i guess that is what you get when you have a large company and are no longer in control of quality. they have many artists and i am sure some produce better quality than others. i was not trying to bag on your helmet b/c troy lee did it. yours looks great, but i have personally seen some of their stuff and heard from some of my clients that have had troy lee stuff in the past, and well i am just surprised that a huge name like troy lee can sometimes produce horrible finishes. they always have cool designs though.
