I agree, the red looks better. As to the color, I think it is more of a gold than yellow. Also, out of the people who are building this helmet, do any of you wear glasses? Most of the helmets I build basically sit there because they don't fit with glasses and I don't have contacts yet :-( Also, don't some movie theaters have rules against that kind of head gear? I'd be fine carrying this thing, but it kinda decreases the badassness. :lol
