How to model A bike helmet visor?

So ive just spent the last day trying to figure out how I can model this visor.  I started with doing the things im comfortable with ,which was modeling the two mounting tabs on either side of the part. I drew them up and found the correct angle and placement for them. But other than that I dont understand the other areas of fusion enough to move on.

 

So im asking for a little bit of help to walk me through the best way to start modeling it.

 

Ive made some basic profile outlines (Front, Side, And Top) and was messing around with the surface tools but to no prevail. Im usually pretty good at figuring out things with the help of youtube guides but I cant find anything guiding me through something this complex.

 

Thanks ahead for the help!

(ill put All my fusion files and reference pics with this post)

Let me know if you need any other reference material, Thank you!

I have a request, do you actually have a photo of the finished physical visor, something that is not cut up into planes?

I don't think you can get there with just extruded profiles.  the general approach will be building out primary surfaces with lofts, cutting them back , and then building on more surfaces from the edges.  the designer probably used a fairly simple primary shape to define the initial surface, if you can discover what that is you should be ale to get there.

attached is a rudimentary example to get you started with the process. (all I have time for ATM)

Thanks so much! Ive been looking through the timeline for the last few minutes and I think its starting to make sense now. Ill have to go and practice with those surface tools. Thanks so much!!
