i think he is just a single man operation. there is a guy here local in dallas area that does them for cheap with the lens swap. he did a buddies G37 and it looks amazing, and the guy with the G is more ocd about his car than i am.... if he trusts him i have nothing to worry about, but my problem is i come to work around 430 in the morning and he needs the lights for 3-4 days

** added pic, here is the g37 that he did

You can do it yourself by using a heat gun (and patience) or use your oven set to 400 degrees. It wont ruin the glass/plastic assembly. I have 300zx TT headlights i did that with. They were black and faded on the inside, i popped it open using the oven method, masked off the stuff I didnt wanna ruin, spray painted it, got some black sealant from auto parts store and put it back together. Youtube also has several good tutorials on it if you're a DYI kinda individual

I wish I have a oven big enough to do it. Haha I'll try to use the heat sometime in the next month but the guy I contacted here local. He's charging 300 just to paint. Literally just to paint. That's ridiculous. Haha maybe you should paint mine
