Default Helmet Tint

So I want to tint my visor, right now its clear. I'd like to get it tinted and theres a place right by my house that advertises window tinting. Of course motorcycle helmet tinting is kind of a specific job so I went in to ask but they were closed today. So I'm wondering, can this be done at a place like this. I like being able to see without a darker look but sometimes theres a reflection and I think it just looks better tinted. How much should this run. A kind of mirror tint would be sweet if I could still see about the same. Heres some pics of the helmet as it is now...

I dont know, I didnt even look at that. How much does a new visor run?? I'm trying to look up it up now. Maybe I just wanted to see how well I can see through it and it's not too dark, I dont know...

usually $18 or so for a light smoked or dark smoked one. The mirrored n colored ones can run a bit higher.

check with any site that sells helmets n search for the make of your helmet.

Yeah that sounds like a better idea, I'll check out the bike shop tomorrow and if they dont have anything I found this..

Hope that link works but it looks like it should cost like 35 for a new face shield. I can live with that.

Just buy a tinted one and carry the clear with you if you ever need it switch them.

Carry the clear one with you too. The tinted shields at night are really too dark for riding IMO.

Got one today, problem solved:



It looks a lot better in the sun, like a silver mirror, you cant see in at all and it tints nice. Not too dark.

Took like 2 minutes at the dealer, 30 dollars.
