How to take great photos of your car!
I came across this website and thought it had some great information! The better the original photo is, the better the signature will be.

Great link. The quality of the photo is very important. The best sigs, are the ones that take the least amount of manipulation. Take a look at the thread by Tricked-Out-Troy. He had GREAT photo's with good color. The sigs were easy to make, and turned out awsome. You notice how many of us, did multiple sigs, as it was easy to work with his pictures.
Other people, have to ask over and over to get sig pic made, this is because the photo they do have of their car is very hard to work with, and to make a good clean flowing sig pic.
I would suggest that everyone view t-o-t's thread, and look at the pictures he took, the camera angles and light conditions he used, made his pictures turn out great on their own, making a sig for those pics is just a matter of cropping to size, and making a few corrections, and then adding a name.

I agree with you Dewey.
Poor quality pictures or just plain boring pictures is the reason you'll see a signature request remain unanswered for weeks or months...but someone like Tricked-Out-Toy or CamaroGuy18 gets 10 to 20 signatures in three days.

How do you think I made my car look so good?
^_^
The paint is shot and peeling, the fender has some nasty DEEP scratches in it, and the front bumper cover is shot.
Can you see the giant crack in the bumper cover from here?

And its big. This is a non-edited photo, I just was very careful about how the pics were taken and the angles I used. I got them to appraise my car at $9,000 based on driveline mods, and pictures alone.
If my car is totalled they will pay me up to $9,000.

But thats the wonderful deal with agreed value. I am paying premiums as if the car is WORTH $9,000.
Its also a limited mileage policy and I don't really drive it all that much anyways. Maybe about 2,500-3,000mi / year. Which is within the mileage limit.
So no, its not fraud. Its agreed value. We agreed that it was worth $9,000 and so it shall be.
Limited mileage, show car insurance. It comes down to about $15/month with a $0 deductable.
