Well, it seems they don't have any more replacements available.
I've been dealing with the retailer I bought it from for over a month. EFX finally told them that there are no replacement units left and EFX said they don't see anything wrong with mine. That's an interesting response because Larry at EFX told me 6 weeks ago that mine did appear to be an affected unit, based on the very same set of photos. I even sent them comparison photos to show how other people's helmets looked in better condition.
I'm trying to see if Spec Fiction can do a partial refund so I can justify having it repainted. I'm not very keen on having to turn an $800 helmet into a $1100+ helmet. They offered repairing it themselves per their policy, but I have no way of knowing how that would turn out.
