These people are great. You can completely custom design the numbers.

There's some pics of them on my car at Laguna.
Did you go with Vinyl or Magnet? I'm working with these guys now and they are recommending Vinyl for DE applications because the Magnet can scratch above 70MPH. If Vinyl has it lasted for you?

The best way to operate the M16 is to throw it at the enemy and pick up the AK.

That looks sick! What will your numbers be? 467?

Fred, by any chance you're looking for a summer intern? =) I'm actively looking!

have not selected a number yet but I emailed that company and they got back to me quickly with some questions.

They have made sets that say GT3RS at the bottom so going to get a couple sets

They said they can be re-used from 4-8 events depending on how well you keep vinyl backing clean, etc.. Instructions attached

I think 8 events might be a realistic number before you'll need a surface prep and some "leading edge" tape.

The "PORSCHE" font looks better when printed on the vinyl than in the jpg preview. And you can modify the lower text to read "GT3 RS" f'rinstance or "hole where I throw money" ...

If you're running PCA time trials, it's nice to get a rear number and the TT class. eg. attached.

By the way, the "trick" to keeping the numbers re-usable is to apply before going to the track and removing after you wash the car (or at least wash the number and surrounding area) then return the numbers to the backing paper and straight into the cardboard sleeve. If you do this in the paddock, you'll get grit behind the number, which of course goes directly onto the paint next time you apply the numbers.
