Couple Wiki Ideas

I've had a couple ideas while doing mods to my truck the past few weeks. These might already exist, but I couldn't find anything while looking.

1. Could we add a section with pictures of the bottom of vehicles, with a page for each model/generation? Bottom views are difficult to find online for most vehicles. It could really help perspective buyers and modders to see how smooth the belly is stock and how one might improve.

2. Along those same lines, a section with completed mod pictures and links to those threads. Having a master list to scroll through and get ideas would be very helpful. Google images can only find so much.

A key factor in ensuring the success these ideas would be hosting the images on the wiki. There's many a helpful thread that has been ruined by an image host removing old pictures or going under. Does the site have enough bandwidth to support this?

Those suggestions all sound good to me. We have the bandwidth so by all means, go ahead and start building it.

I hear you on the thread images. This is why we encourage users to upload pictures here on the forum, that way they're always here. However, the bulk of the pictures posted on the forum are hosted elsewhere and it isn't uncommon for links to die over time.
