You could do it yourself. There are a couple how to's in the DIY section and it seems pretty straight forward. I plan on doing it myself this summer.

+1

took me 3 hours from start to finish. hardest part was taking off the bumper and that can be done in under 30 minutes if you have a buddy helping you. Removing the side marker was a bitch because I was afraid of breaking it so i used a flat head screw driver to wedge the retaining clips off, that made it worse, just yank the damn thing toward you and it'll come out. good luck!

If you need an extra pair of hands and don't mind coming up to newmarket I can offer you a garage and a place to work at.

Cheers!

I have the retrofit source morimoto projectors/HID kit for the stock lights that I'm going to sell (haven't listed yet). PM if interested - I was planning on doing it while I had the lights open, but am going with different lights.

I think I've heard about Carbox doing this, but not 100% sure.

You shouldn't really be afraid of removing the bumper, I've had to remove mine before because my grille got pushed in by an ice brick on the road. I just followed pictures 1-17 from here and had it off on my own in less than 40 minutes with taking necessary precautions and taking it slow.

The only thing you will really need is the right tools for the job, so long as you have it you will be fine. If anything I would be more scared of baking open the headlights as I never really know how to operate a stove properly :(

CarBox can do this. They will be working on my car soon. I'll post a review of their work when they're finished. :)

+1 for CarBox - haven't had this specific service but Norb is a great guy to deal with, very pleasant experience when I took my FRS in for a tint.
