Default Jake Helmet Skin

I saw this website that made helmet skins and had them make me a Jake skin. Turned out pretty cool. The Jake is backwards but that's actually good as the teeth show out the drivers side window. I'll try it out at Autobahn on Monday.

You are going to wear it while running? Is it flammable? You are going to look through that visor?

Visor is see thru, you don't even know it's there. I most likely won't wear it that much but I thought it was cool. More likely to wear it on the motorcycle.

It still has to block vision somewhat like the car decal for rear windows. Wonder how long till GM gets them for unlicensed product if they don't have it.

That looks pretty cool! I agree though, dont wear the visor cover while racing, but on a motorcycle that would look sweet!

Personally I would rather have decals instead if the pillow case look.

Yeah, it's not as clean as paint or decals but it's something you can take off and on a 5 seconds. Won't wear it on the track but will on the motorcycle. Also, I have permission to make a couple things with Jake on it so that's covered.
