Cockpit Mod

Hey guys at PMDG, i am currently in the process of modifying the VC Cockpit textures and 2D panel textures (TEXTURES ONLY) as 90% of people i talk to HATE the current look of the PMDG 737, i have shown a few people at my VA (Ryanair Virtual) some screenshots of my current progress (Still not finished yet) and they love it. As it is based on a real photo of a ryanair 737-800 cockpit taken by myself. Well after editing all the VC TEXTURES in the TEXTURE folder it is still not showing in the VC, I done research as to why this happens and people say the VC is just the 2D panels. (MCP, Overhead, FMC, Radios etc and some gauge bodys), I tryed editing these via Photoshop CS4 but it would not allow me to, so i done research again and people said you have the .BMP's in the PANEL folder protected therefore not allowing people to edit the textures. I am doing this for personal reasons so my question is please can you guys give me permission to edit these certain few files and send me the files that are able to be edited? i would REALLY appreciate that. (even though you gave us a VC (Normally known as 3D) cockpit using 2D panel textures/gauges.)Here are a few shots of my progress
