Do I rip off these bottom pieces as well?
Looking better but I would still rip off that stubborn center piece. The latex isn’t going to rip so dont worry. That was the hardest part for me too. Keep working it. Dont pull straight out. Pull it at like a 45 degree angle, and to the side, not up towards the top of the mask
Also… dont hold it in your hands while ripping it. Put it on a table with the latex flat and put your palm flat on the latex with your arm straight out rigid to get leverage, and then pull with your strong arm with with your fingers as close to the base of the hair as you can.

I would probably leave that part. It looks great now as is. Good job man!
Another tip: if you want the hairline to have that matted screen accurate look, instead of that factory perfect glue line, start at one of the ears and slowly go around the whole hairline rubbing in circles with your thumb with some pressure. You’ll be amazed how just that makes a difference

Thanks for the help! Now all I gotta do is style it.

I’m really liking how this looks so far, now I guess I just need to style it. I was very nervous doing this but I thought to myself “at least if I mess up, I can get it rehaired”
I also added a pic of the hair I ripped out just cuz. Also I had to use scissors for one strand and I cut it up a bit more to make it look more natural.
Nicely done! As it is now on a whole, it’s actually pretty damned good. You got lucky with your paintjob.

Thanks! It’ll be easier for someone to rehaul it when that time comes
Here’s some more pics of the mask. These are from when I got it out of the mail so the tag is in some and this is before I ripped off the mullet
This looks like a remastered H4 cover with the 2018 mask
