I didn't realize they had reps. I guess car helmet purchases are a bit different than motorcycle helmet purchases since they are so much less common.
They only make 1 helmet for cars. That's the same one as Schumacher Danica Patrick et al. $6 grand ugh. Arai carbon is in the $4.5k neighborhood I think.

I ordered mine as visible gloss carbon (because it looks like the predator lol) but I paid a couple hundred up charge cause I wanted the painter to pay special attention to the way he fades the black into the carbon fiber on the cheeks of the helmet. They have these reinforced ugly patches u see on the paint ready helmet. Those are for the Hans system reinforcement. I want light fade I don't want too dark so I can see more of the carbon fiber...
