Agreed... Shawn, just get a NEW helmet. Not only will the 2010 have better safety (I'll be honest... I don't understand it, I just trust them so it could all be bs) but it will be legal for longer than a 2005 helmet.
I'll still follow up though for those who already have helmets that are maybe a bit older. It hasn't come up here yet but I know that although the rules say M rated helmets are good, last year NASA Northeast (may be different in other regions) were trying to steer people away from M rated helmets with the though that they would ban them either this year or next.
I'll get full clarification between now and say summer when people would want to be making purchases
