Man, sorry no one has replied to you. I'm not near you, but can maybe help point you in the right direction. If you haven't ordered anything yet, I would start with the detachment forums. They're all linked from the 501st site. If you're looking at Shadow Trooper, that's gonna be in Spec Ops. They're more familiar with specific vendors and what you will need to do with it to get approved. Most vendors who do trooper armor are willing to do it with black plastic instead of white, but helmet lenses (mirror instead of green), decals (silver instead of blue/black), and stuff like that might have to come from another source.

FYI, if you ever need decals, feel free to PM me. I can do almost anything and I keep a bunch of colors on hand. I usually do em for costume pals for just the cost of an envelope and stamp.

I'm in the high point area. I haven't looked on the map. But feel free to call/message me direct I can give you some info.
We got one great builder in our garrison. Jason Hill. Intergalactic supply.
I got my tie pilot there. Great builder. Sometimes he has soft parts on hand too.
Imperial boots and wampa wear both are good flight suit suppliers.
What kind of kit are you looking for? Sometimes some folks retire their kits too
Feel free to call/message me. 864-934-8224

Andrew,
Hello. I'm not sure if there are any troopers in that exact area, and although someone with one of those specific costumes may reach out and be able to help, the best place to go, as Chris Gould mentioned above, is the detachments for those costumes.
Detachments are for similar costumes where folks come together to help build the respective costumes.
For the Stormtrooper, you would want to check out: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/
For Darth Vader, you would want to check out: https://www.501stsithlords.com/
There, you can ask questions, post pictures, get feedback, follow other's work in progress posts, etc.
I hope this helps.
-Chris

I have my TK being made by Dave at Dave’s dark side depot , he’s been great to work with and as soon as I get it will be joining the garrison and 501st , he was the xo of the empire garrison so I’m figuring the armor will be ready to go. Look forward to trooping with you guys in 23
