No no no.....I don't mean you of course!

I heard from "someone" about who is the actual culprit who damaged my helmet and even damaged it a 2nd time after you and/or Tim fixed it. I still wonder how lending it to 14 years old boys led to no problem at all but some minor silver stain but lending to someone who is 18++ can have it damaged.

If it had been you, I would had settle it with you of course since I know you can settle it fair and square.

How much does it costs to get an IRG helmet online? (costs = price of helmet + shipping + additional costs)

Cause i may have a friend's friend who may be able to custom make.... i wanna compare with the online price see which is more feasible. Anybody got the numbers? =)

The Don Post IRGs are going for as high as USD200 on Ebay. Shipping from the States should cost an additional USD30.

if u are asking me i will say red guard is easily attain on internet...but even if ur friend can make a custom build it will still cost the almost the same...

just do some homework if u r serious and u will get what u want...we all been thru the same path and stage and this made owning the costume more meaningful

here is a good bid on ebay u might want to try out...i see that is quite perfect based on the pic

Ah....coz my fren's fren who can make the helmets, say it gonna cost around $500 (paint spraying included)...so i need to compare....unless more people want the same helmet...i dun think his fren wanna charge less, since materials and effort included isn't cheap.

seriously u mentioned 500 sing or 500 usd cos either way is just too expensive for a custom made and unless he is scruptor himself i doubt anyone can make a good one out of it...sory don; mean to doubt ur friend's capability but i will rather put that money on an existing then a customized one...and what kind of material is he charging u with - fiberglass or ABS plastic...?

Mine was shipped for USD41 from US 4 years ago (helmet was only USD45) but I think I was ripped off a bit as GT quoted me a lower price (USD30+) for the same mode of shipping (Global Priority) and my helmet arrived in a plastic bag and box with a much lower postal price.

Anyhow, DP helmet on eBay will remain in the USD100-200 price range even for a "damaged" one. Been observing DP IRG helmet whenever I go online and the final price hardly ended up less than USD100++++ so all out of budget......
