Sorry if it's not quite matching. On my home computer it looks pretty close, maybe a few shades off. but when i looked at it at work it was way too light.

Any time. Doing something like that was only 15 minutes for all 4 pics. takes longer when i have to add a part because i have to find the part in the same or close to the same angle and the vehicle.
