Hey Panda, I've received alot of positive feedback about the units. Since it elevates the fan, you get more airflow, and it softens the vibrations and noise. I have some photos of the unit at work in a customer lid....I'll find them and post so you can see where he's using (3) Tk-Coolers in one helmet!

Thanks Mobus! Looks great. Thanks for the complement!....Now I can't wait to finish mine! When I finish my mod, I'll post photos...I'm not thinning the ears, nor am I taking the lid apart) I'm just doing doing the basics.

uh...yikes. Lube is now added to the list...lol. Hope your tater is better now Ironclaw!

Things not to use MMD Putty for: -toothpaste -hand cream/lotion -hair gel -shampoo -sandwich spread -silver polish Sorry, had to do it.

Excellent looking armor! I can't wait until I can fit into mine...lol. I know you're waiting for your CE Stunt bucket to get there...I think it will look better with your armor than the FX lid. Excellent job on the build!

I'm all a twitter! Sure wish I had the courage, skills and tools Mike has!

Mine was shipped USPS, not UPS, and it only took a couple days. It might have been beat up before they shipped it to me....? Who knows, but the first CE Stunt I bought (from somebody else) showed up double-boxed. The brown box and package box were put in a larger carton, with packing peanuts, so it was perfect when it arrived. It might have been just my post office, they are pretty wierd over there! LOL!

I ordered my second CE Stunt from Redford Films, and it showed up all beat to hell! He doesn't double-box it, so good luck... Mine had severe rub marks on the dome from the package being tossed, and the actual packaging was nearly destroyed. (and I'm in California, just miles from the shipper!) Good luck...

Nice kit! Everything looks great...except, you'll need to order some new tube stripes for your CE Stunt bucket. (Ebay) Also, you've got some other work to do on it as well, like filling the seam with DAP White Seam Filler, and also changing the screen behind the mouth. The lenses need to be swapped out for darker green lenses too. Nice stuff by the way...I look forward to seeing it all put together! Did your kit come with the FX lid?...

...more more more!.. Excellent work Mike, can't wait to see it progress even further. I'm anxious to see what you do to the interior of the helmet as well...

Nice work on the decals!....they turned out great. If anyone is interested in using thermally-printed vinyl decals, you can order them from me on Ebay... Decals! Hope it can help someone with their modding work. -m

Excellent work! What paint did you use? Did you save your brow trim?...or getting new? (and where to get the new) Ears?

You saved my bucket! As I took my brow trim off it fell apart. It tore in so many areas I don't have much of it left actually. This is a huge help to me man...thanks a ton! I'm sure more will find this tutorial helpful too! ^^ Props!! ^^

Question: Where is everyone getting their brow trim?....mine was destroyed during the removal process. (Tried to save it, but ripped) Also, how to I remove the residue (rubber) left from the brow trim?

His method is called 'Al-Queda-Liner'.....

I've heard of people layering fiberglass on the inside of the helmets....

Wow, that's looking amazing! Congrats...that bucket is going to be beautiful!

Excellent...let me know how it works for you...what kind of bucket are you using? On a MRCE Stunt, it fits the best between the aerators, just under the frown. On a FX, it fits anywhere...lol. Share some photos if you get a chance! I'm surprised it showed up so fast! Glad it arrived safely.

EXCELLENT! I am very happy it arrived....did the package hold up well? It didn't arrive crushed right?

I've thought about Peltier's and TEC units, but I'm unsure of the voltage and amps that would be required to maintain the steady performance. A single 9v battery may not be enough. If you do try this, please share your results! Good luck!

Looking excellent! What is everyone doing about the screws? Can somebody give me an idea on how to "fake" the screws on the ear pieces?

Has anyone tried just applying some window tint to the inside of the stock lenses?

...only on painted buckets. I wouldn't use car polish on any raw ABS pulls.

Hey everyone...I know many of you have ordered my tube stripes for the CE... Many have asked if I was going to have the decals for the rest of the bucket, and I am close to getting them on ebay. I had to trace each decal, scan, digitize, clean, etc. I should have the decals ready by next week, however, these will be somewhat expensive because I have to outsource them to another shop. I will keep everyone updated too. By the way, excellent paint job! It look fantastic. My apologies for trying to hijack this thread! -M

Awesome job....I am trying to get another CE so I can do this as well. I don't have the courage to tackle this without a backup...lol.
