Do you rely on only the RIT team or do you attempt to find a way out?

Box 1075 Customs Joins LHM For Helmet Care Tips
Posted on Leatherhead Mafia 1 day ago
With the growing amount of fire helmet customization going on these days, there is a lot to look for from the businesses out there doing this work. For example, make sure you choose the best company. Check out their ratings and reviews. Ask around groups that have used these companies. Just because they are the cheapest in price, doesn't mean it's the best workmanship. Look and see how many jobs were completed by these companies. If there are only 1 or 2 pics of completed restoration helmet jobs, it might not be a good choice to be using them. Remember fans, fire helmet customization is all bout showing off your lid and having pride in it. When customers use or choose your business, they are trusting you with your workmanship. Send these customers back a piece of art that is worth paying for and better yet, worth showing off. Show pride in your work.
