I used to be a die hard GoPro guy but I recently picked up a Rylo 360 and I’m thrilled with it. It’s a 360 degree camera records in all the popular modes 1080,4k, 5.8k etc waterproof and records 360 degrees or only 180 degrees. The magic is in the editing and it’s really very easy to do from your phone or iPad. 

I use the quadlock and really like the quickness of attaching and detaching, you have to use their case but I don’t find it any more cumbersome than a regular case. 

I just stepped up from a cheapo Joe Rocket helmet to a Bell Star DLX. Huge difference in wind noise,I don’t need the ear plugs anymore and I can hear my Sena now. The DLX part of the helmet signifies that it comes with a transition shield in the box and it’s amazing, no more carrying  two shields. The shield is very thick and doesn’t bend or distort at speed and seals very tightly against the helmet. The helmet was $549 but that included the transition shield, the regular Bell Star is $499 so your saving a  $100 right off the bat as the bell shield is $150 separately. The Shoei rf1200 transition shield is $200 on top of the helmet. The negatives are it doesn’t vent as well as my old cheapo does but that’s just because air was coming in from everywhere my eyes would constantly being tearing up from the wind. The face shield on the Bell is either open all the way or closed there’s no in between unless you don’t snap it closed but then it’s just noisy. Anyways hope this helps.

I'm well aware of Plasti-dip. 

I painted this car with it about six years ago.

I also use it on my homemade shorty windscreens. 

Not really what I'm looking to do this time. 

I think I'd like to match the grey that's on the side panels. Which likely means paint if I want it really close. But maybe there is a vinyl that kinda sorta is close enough. I haven't looked around much yet but it's been floating around in the back of my head for a while now.

Check out dipyourcar.com They have made some real progress in the last few years, also have come out with a lot of new colors and finishes. Like you I’ve dipped my cars a few times and my friends cars as well, it’s an awesome product if applied correctly. I think it would sick to the side cases no problem.

Maybe upgrade your speakers? 

This. I’ve been researching better speakers for my Sena20s as well and I’ve been reading really good reviews about the iASUS brand of helmet speakers. Plug and play with the sena just like you do now with your ear buds only the speakers stay in the helmet obviously.

99 might be a little closer to the Sierras but it ain't in them. Having done both multiple times, I would recommend just stay on I-5 and hold your breath past Harris Ranch. 99 is no more fun than I-5, and you get to deal with traffic through Modesto and Fresno.

Plus the 99 is one big giant speed trap, lots of places for the 5.0 to hide. At least on the 5 if you pay attention you can see them a little ways off.

I can attest to the horrid smells of Harris ranch, especially in 115F summer heat and no wind. It's like traveling through the apocalypse.

It's like warm sweaty humid cow crap and ammonia all mixed together lol

You will never and I mean never forget the smell of coalinga ca. Harris ranch has what smells like 9 million cows there. The smell will burn your eyes and your lungs and scar you for life!! I used to run the Bay Area from LA a lot and I would start rolling up my windows and closing all the vents in my truck about 10 miles out from there, not joking it's that bad. Other than that it sounds like an amazing trip, I went to the first motogp race at COTA and it was a blast!

If you don't like the Corbin seat hit me up and I'll give you a $150 for it and my stock seats off my 2017 in perfect condition.
