I was actually in the same boat as you a while back. I initially wanted a FettPride helmet as he was in North America, but the wait list was huge. I also sent him a PM, but he never responded. His work is awesome, but I decided to go with Bobamaker, and I couldn't be happier. Daz (Bobamaker) is awesome to deal with, and is always there to answer any questions you may have. His paint jobs are amazing!!!!! It may be a bit more expensive getting it shipped from the UK, but if you consider you would have to pay for shipping for both a unpainted helmet, and again to get it painted here in North America, it probably works out to be pretty close in price. This is just my opinion, as I'm just so stoked on my Bobamaker helmet! You can see it here
