Default Local Headlight Mod Shop in Atlanta?

Anyone here in the Atlanta area that can recommend a good headlight mod shop? I want to get my inner housings color matched, remove the ambers, and get some halos. I'd love to be able to send my lights off to get them done, but I can't be without my headlights for more than 2-3 days at most since my car is my daily driver.

Unfortunately, I do not have the budget to get a second set of headlights new, and it complicates things since my car is black cherry, so I highly doubt there are any already modded headlights color matched to this color that I could trade someone my unmodded ones for.

Anyway. If anyone has any suggestions, please send them my way!

Even with a local shop 2-3 is pushing it i think. Paint has to be be done carefully, then you have to seal it back well. Cheaping out will just require you to do it twice - i've been there with headlights on my IS300. Shitty retrofit and paint job, started leaking almost immediately, and it looked terrible

Save up for a second pair of headlights, send those off to a good outfit to get them painted. You'll probably be able to sell your stockers later.
There's bound to be used headlights in the FS section, or even your local used parts supplier

Good point about selling my stock headlights. I could get back a good 75% of the money I put in buying new ones just reselling them. It's just coming up with the close to 2k for the extra set that's going to be quite tough.
