Blackedout Headlights

I tryed finding out in another thread, but I didn't get a response so I'm gonna try again here. Anywayz, I got an 01 CL-S and really want blacked out lights. I can't afford the 03 headlights from Acura, does anyone know how difficult it would be to black them out myself or possibly a shop in the North Atlanta Area that could do it? Thanks ya'll. (If not, a place where I could buy them for cheap???)

Yeah you can. Just follow the steps to clear them and then use sand paper to sand of the chrome paint. Then just use hightemp spray paint and let dry. That's all there is to it. Total cost about $4 and a few hours. Here's a pic of my '01 lights, I didn't paint all of it, left chrome on the outside for effect.

Just use a roll of sensitive surface 3M masking tape and you'll have no problems with the chrome peeling off when you remove the tape.
