No, get something SA2010. You seem to want to drift, autocross and maybe get on the track. Get something you can use with any group, no everyone will accept a motorcycle helmet.

dang! i copied and pasted but never realized it was M2010. Some websites just say Snell 2010/ DOT so i thought it's OK to use.
Can't find any full face helmets under $200 (preferably under $150) that looks dope..lol

I have a G-force pro and it's a good helmet for me. Not all helmets fit everyone so try one out before you buy if you can.

I bought a HJC in black for $125 brand new. Found it online for $118 shipped. Not sure if its good for drifting and autocross but its good for drag racing untill 2021.

Most likely those are not SA 2005 or SA 2010. I'm looking for SA certified helmets. thanks!

DO you mind taking some pics of your helmet?side view. Better if you are wearing them to see how it really looks like. In ad pics, the slope of the visor seems too steep.
thanks

Who freaking cares how it looks on your head, you are pretty much covered up while in the car. Decals or paint can be used to make your helmet look pimp or JDM tite yo later on. Just buy the helmet that fits your head the best!!!!!!!!

The visor is about 1 1/2" - 2" above my brow but has a tinted edge that makes it look lower. It's been a good helmet for the 3 years I have owned it. The only thing I wish it had was an aero lip. When I had a close roof it was fine, but with an open cockpit things get rough above 120. Bought it for $199 on sale.

Edit - I would stay away from a black helmet if you are in a warmer area. Having the sun beat down on you in black can be rough. I regret buying a black driving suit just for that reason. My next one will be blue or similar color.

I bought my HJC AR10 SA2005 helmet from Soloracer.com for $299 a couple years ago. I have been very happy with this helmet. I have used it for drag racing in my Mustang as well as HPDE in my 350Z.
