1. The term "Repair" as set out shall not include cosmetic repair, such as surface scratches, blemishes, to the painted finish, key dings, minor dents and scrapes to minor component parts when such are documented by color photographs as set out in Section 110 paragraph 2, whether the current title is "Salvage" or has been reassigned to a rebuilder by the insurer.

2. The rebuilder shall include with every Form 78-021, Application for Inspection of a Salvage/Rebuilt Vehicle, a minimum of four (4) color photographs of the vehicle in its unrepaired condition so that a Department of Public Safety inspector may view at the same time of the inspection, and such photographs shall be surrendered with the rebuilder's application for inspection. Such photographs shall be made as follows: one (1) from each of four different angles looking from a fender on a line diagonally to the fender on the opposite side and end of the vehicle taken from a distance not more than six (6) feet from the vehicle and which clearly show the back or front, side and top of the vehicle from each angle. The rebuilder shall include other photographs as he deems necessary to show other areas of concern to him.

3. If the photographs do not clearly show prior existing damage as claimed, repair of such damage will be counted as one component part for each such part(s) so repaired.
