I thought the problem was with the polycarbonate (moulded plastic) type of lid. Back in the day we were told that it was a no no to paint them or even attach stickers, but that all was OK on fi-glass helmets (no carbon/kevlar then).
I would have thought that if covering a helmet in a volatile solvent (paint / laquer) wont damage its structural integrity, then a sticker wouldn't either.
But what do I know??
