Giro Advantage 2 w/ Visor
This was discussed in some older threads, but I wanted to let you all know that it is possible to put a visor into a Giro Advantage 2 aero helmet. I googled this before I did it, and found this is what several pro bike teams do, so I tried it.
It's a LG visor/windscreen that fit into my GIro helmet without any cutting/shaping. I did reinforce it, with some screws (exactly like those that come with the wheel cover, except shorter and the only ones I could find @ ;Home Depot were metal).
I tried to upload pictures here (using the 'attachment' option below when creating the post), but I don't know if it worked or not. If not, please tell me how to load pictures w/o a weblink, as my company blocks all of those weblinks from displaying (I can hardly EVER see the pics most of you post).
Any way, I first used the helmet at Vineman 70.3 in July - and LOVED it!!! No sunglass frames in my vision path, still had plenty of airflow, and less headache-like pain from the ears of the glasses.

Can you see the pics?
Ordered the visor at a LBS. LG has the same shape visor in three shades: clear, grey and really dark (obviously, not the real names). I chose the clear to start, but might get a darker one to swap out for certain events. With the screws I used, it's as simple as using a dime to remove it.
The images have been inserted directly now! (sometimes I see where to do it, sometimes I don't!)
