I guess in some aspects, this could be for the better because after reading on here, I noticed that many have gone to other alternatives. (I too hated trying to cut near the ear pieces to get that "seamless" look, plus had issues with the stretchability.) I've noticed that people have purchased this in 16' increments. I was wondering if there was anyone out there who still had some laying around and would like to part with some of it. STYLEGUARD Automotive Body Molding"..."Narrow" with the part number S33216 Trapezoid 16' Black I believe it was Pep Boys, but it may have been available in Auto Zone/Advanced Auto. Thanks for anyone who may have some available If someone has a better alternative, I'd be willing to listen to any ideas. I know most people on FISD didn't like the soft foam trim because of the thickness.

That rubber stuffwill errode away someday and the glue backing is just nasty. Take a strip of black ABS or black lumber banding(from the floor of the wood section of the hardware store. they don't care if you take it.) Heat it up with a hair dryerand bend it directly over the helmet. blow on it to cool. then take it off and sand it with fine grit sand paper. then a few drops of ABS glue on the inside, then place on with tape to hold it about 3 hours and it'll never fall off. Mine looks totally normal like that.
