Unusual pics: repairs needed to these parts - Honda Pilot

Thought some of you guys might get a kick out of this. Since the dealership we use for repairs is a pretty good distance from our apartment, we're trying to get all the parts, etc., ordered for a couple of relatively minor repair jobs, so I took pictures of everything needed and innundated the poor service tech with them in email.

Here they are:

Majestic Honda has a great site for looking up and ordering those parts.

Yeah, I figured it was an image manipulation program...but I'd like to know how he got it to tint just the area he wanted?? In MS Paint you can use the paint can and do a whole area, but only if it's the same color. Those area's would have had all kinds of different shades

Yeah, just a quick-n-dirty run through photoshop with the magnetic lasso tool a couple of times and a 100% RGB red at something like 20% opacity. You can see areas in both tinted pics where I got lazy.

I used to do this sort of thing professionally, so it's pretty much second nature.

Thanks for the pointer to majestichonda ... These are all under-warranty repairs so I'm content to let the dealership do the heavy lifting on the parts ordering (and paying!), especially considering that faceplate port scratch was a gift from them when they replaced a defective audio head unit (high pitched whine at low volumes).

Hope they can fix the dash rattle I also got as a no-charge add-on with the new head unit.
