It's not possible. It's a terrible looking shitty helmet. Try and pawn it off for some moolah and get a Giro Revolver.

G9 is a great helmet. comfy as all hell and always keeps head the right temperature. doesn't look half bad either. mine was an 06 on though so maybe now their a bit crumbier.

best advice i've gotten.

besides the fact that i realized it was a G10 haha. i over estimated the lameness, but still not a fan. cant get stickers on it, too many damn holes, and maybe my head is just lumpy, but the fit is just a little too bobble head ish.

Dye the viser white and slap an NS sticker on it, then take off the ear flaps and wear a bright touke under it

You might as well just give up on skiing..

I've never had a problem with the G10. I liked it, looked good. I was still able to make friends and ski properly with it.

Since you can't dye it, paint it!

Get my HiFi in my sale thread!  I used the G10 a long time ago but the HiFi was way more comfy and I like the look as well.

cant you just buy the visor for it? i bet they'd be a lot cheaper than buying a new helmet and that makes it look pretty good

but definitely go and try your helmets on in a shop and make sure your gonna buy something that fits because a helmet that doesnt fit quite right can really piss you off

How to make a Giro G9, never mind now it's a G10, less gay.

1. Go to the club/bar/anywhere you like to pick up chicks.

2. Find a lady and get to know her.

3. Have sex, but before you bang her, have her put her vag on the G10.

4. The helmet is now much less gay.

5.??????????????????????????????????

6. Profit

Are you interested in buying the OP's G10? It's actually essentially the same as the G9 but you have the ability of adjusting the vents.
