Converting a body to IR

Do you know where I can get a K10 converted to IR in the US?

LifePixel seems to be popular for IR conversions but I am not sure they work with Pentax.
When I was researching about getting an IR converted body, I also looked into Spencers Camera and Precision Camera who both claimed to do Pentax body conversions.
Eventually, I went ahead and bought a full spectrum (clear glass) converted K-x from "lianglunche", a PF member who converts Pentax bodies and others overseas.
I'd Google for Pentax IR conversion. Also search here on PF as I remember a few threads with a similar question.

Also see Flickr discussion in the Digital Infrared or Converted Digital Infrared Camera groups.
Good luck.

I had my K100ds converted by Spencer's Camera in Utah. They did a good job although their communications leave a bit to be desired and they took several months to get it done. If you search this site you will likely encounter a number of opinions about Spencer's Camera Spencers Camera & Photo Digital Camera Infrared (IR) Conversions, Modifications and IR Photography :: Welcome

Personally, they did what I asked and delivered a product I use today now more than one and a half years ago. I had mine converted at the 680nm point to get a bit more color in my images. YMMV
