Ok, so about 90 bucks or so. If you have one, is it worth it? Is the construction that of a $90 helmet? Would i be better buying something else over here and painting it?
Honestly I just like the paintjob a lot.

That would be nice, still OK at $85.
maybe try http://taobaofocus.com/order
I haven't used them (yet) but others have recommended them and the site seems clear and concise

However a flat black one somewhere local would certainly have the right safety ratings for your state/country.
Mine, fully safety rated, full face with visor was only AU$60. But you get what you pay for past that point, and usually you get stickers all over them from the manufacturers! Mine is plain black but I have stuck black(white reflective) tape on it.
It wouldn't take much to get a good image printed as a sticker, cheap enough in print shops if you get a good high res image - you can also do that on your home computer printer with the right decal sheet, about a dollar or two each last time I did it, laser or inkjet. That way you could do some for the 'bike as well!

At risk of leading this thread astray, I've been trying to find a local supply of the Scorpion EXO 900 "transformer" helmet, which in one of its permutations does look a bit like the NOS. Well maybe not. But the girl is obviously well qualified.

There are tons of listings for this helmet in taobao and the price is pretty nice at 950 RMB (US$144), but no one I've contacted has had any stock.
I really want to try a convertible helmet, and this is even better since you can pull the chin piece off altogether and use it in open-face mode with the flip-down shades.
cheers
If you do not find one over there, I can look around over here for you, then ship it.
