One note:

 

If you bought a FULL kit with helmet, the raised ridge in the ABS across the brow of the faceplate is a "Cementing Ridge" to glue the front of the dome to. This leaves a gap that will allow the builder to add the accurate brow trim (included) - by pushing it up and on after careful cementing, and will also allow them to change it out and replace it if necessary at a later date. Measure accordingly when figuring where the dome should be glued.

 

Measure a lot and cut in very small increments. You can always take more off or sand a little - you can't put it back on!

 

The helmet is designed to require trimming along the front/back join seam and the comm covers to get a custom fit and look - based on the look the builder wants. Some like gaps, some like it nice and neatly joined.
