Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but a cool helmet none the less.

There are a few ebay vendors who will sell you just the goggles if that's what you want.

If you are going to wear a fake helmet, why not just wear a real one that will protect your brain too. People don't care what you have on your head when they pass you or turn left in front of you.

"Let me get this straight, the helmet law is supposed to protect a brain that has such poor judgment it would not protect itself unless it was forced to?" - Seinfeld

they do that because the thing is such a P.O.S. that if it costs more to ship it and ship it back people won't bother with returns.
