F.S. Arai GP-5W Auto Helmet.

Any track junkies out there need an awesome helmet?

I have a Arai GP-5W (white) size large. It's practically brand new.
Helmet tend to run a size smaller so it's more like a M/L.
Reason for selling is that it won't fit my odd head. I need an XL.
This retails close to $1000 and lowest price I've seen goes for $824.
I'm selling this for $600 picked up or $640 shipped includes paypal fees.
There's tiny imperfection at the rear of the helmet, barely noticeable.

Here is some info.
Wider Eyeport and Vents for Closed Cockpit race cars. SA-05

Finally, a helmet designed specifically for use inside a closed cockpit race car. A very similar design and specification as the previous models, but with some ventilation changes and a 90mm eyeport (compared to previous 72mm). All of this, and the same formula that sets Arai apart through lightweight design, superbly strong shells and a perfect fit interior, make this the new helmet the one to have. Features

New 90mm eyeport (compared to previous 72mm)
Consturcted of Arai's SCLC (Super Complex Laminate Construction) for light weight and rigidity
Removable, washable and replaceable cheek pads
Pre-drilled for HANS device. Also a special molded seat for the HANS posts.
Two intake and exhaust vents for improved closed cockpit ventilation.
Here are pics of it.

I'd love to pic this up but can't justify that much for a helm personally

Yea...Arai is money, but definitely worth it, the shell does not make ur head look unprotional like other helmets, and it's extremely light. Gotta put on to really feel the difference.

I'm taking reasonable offers.
