It really depends on the company. In most cases, photo documentation is enough but if you REALLY want to be safe, you might ask them if they support appraisals. You basically drive to a certified/approved appraiser and they value your car based on the current condition. Bringing printouts/catalogs that have the same parts retail value doesn't hurt in case they try and whore you and/or don't know what something is worth.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
