@HotLeopardMama bought hers here:
Cycle Gear Address: 1391 S Lemon St, Fullerton, CA 92832 Phone:(714) 525-4205 They let her try them on, in and out of the car. Just make sure it's rated for what you're using it for. She was able to get a Snell rated Shoei helmet on super-clearance. |

Do not go to a motorcycle helmet shop, you will get a motorcycle helmet and not a car helmet....
Sube Sports and Racing Lifestyle are here in Orange County, or you can go to Werks II in Burbank |

If you want hit big track events, avoid motorcycle shops, as they probably won't carry many (or any) helmets with both Snell SA & M certs. SCCA Solo Autocross is okay with M cert only, but big tracks require the SA cert.
You can look up brands with Snell SA2010 certification here: Helmet Certification Lists. Mine is M2010 certified, but I don't plan on doing any big track events pretty much ever. You also might find this site helpful.

I bought mine at Sube Sports in Huntington Beach. They stock several brands and sizes, I went in person and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I ultimately went with a Bell M4 from Extreme Supply in Signal Hill.
