So I did end up making a DIY vacuum former to make a better visor.

I basically did it the way that N8TEBB has on YouTube.


The only difference is the way mine is tinted.

I chose not to do the dye and chrome method because I don't have an airbrush to do the chroming effect.

Instead I used 2 visor layers to create the effect.


The visor itself is just a clear vacuum formed piece of plastic.

Then behind it is a tinted flat piece of plastic cut to fit behind it. Much like my original visor but a little smaller.


I used one-way window tint for that.

I tried to tint the formed visor but with no matter how much I heated and tried to wrap it there were wrinkles.

So the flat piece was just a way easier option.


The details on my formed piece aren't the most profound, but you can tell they are there, much better than a flat visor.


And overall, the visibility is pretty good, the last pic shows what it looks like through the helmet.
