how much for a set? I ordered some last night because I didn't like the tape lol. But I'm not sure if I will like the ones I bought.

So. Do you guys plan to come down my way and hit the autox in Shelby? I might come and watch since it's so close to me. I can't run my car (motor mount/s) and Jen's 3 has some brake issues so I am a spectator still.

Depends what you want... Individual numbers/letters, number panel, how many colors...etc.

Examples:
Individual numbers/letters on my STi: https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/965415_10151710618455903_181714432_o.jpg

Number panel I made for Evan with 2 colors (white background): http://imageshack.us/a/img59/2817/img8380edit.jpg
Number panel I made for my Speed3: http://imageshack.us/a/img407/3869/photovkg.jpg and here it is on the car: https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/602658_10100331787881522_665844948_n.jpg

Shoot me a PM and we can talk about it.

I feel like the individual numbers/letters would be best

 

[Lewis7789]

While they do look the coolest, I think the large single panel magnets tend to stick better.

Individual numbers are more prone to fall off because there is less contact patch. I need to hit up Will too anout getting some. I haven't had numbers since I ran in STX.

Just have the background color or negative part be the sam color as the car and you'll have the same affect.

Thick numbers/letters is key if you're doing individual letters. Plus I use 30 mil magnetic material so they won't come off unless they are installed improperly or you're going really fast!

But I like number panels better because they are easier to make, and easier to install haha. You don't have to worry about the letters/numbers being all crooked.

 

[pmartz16]

I'm more worried about the numbers I chose to be taken already then I can't use the panel unless i throw a one in front of it or something. If they blow off a lot then I will just get a panel later.

Chris also didn't have numbers I noticed!!

Yet, my gf is getting a set for my birfday with the SCCA coupon you get when you join

 

[WillD]

Boo. From where?

Number panel with matching additional number in front of it. I.E. 16 SM number panel would have a matching 1 that goes in the front of it in case your number is taken or you have a second driver. (I'm going to make this for myself at some point haha).

 

[pmartz16]

gotcha. If I can return the ones I got then I might get a panel from you. But if I can't or it will cost me to return it then I will just stick with them

 

[Cleverfrog]

Boo. From where?

i think its solotime.com or something

 

[WillD]

She should get them from me. I give good deal!

 

[Cleverfrog]

you love me long time? lolz

 

[WillD]

My magnetic numbers love you long time... which is even better.

My "best" run:
