well .... are you looking for something that you can take off when not racing or just somthing a little more perm.

[Sp00ner]

Has to come off, I'm not driving up and down the street with numbers all over my car... thats like a sign screaming "PULL ME OVER!!!!"

Well, magnets are out of the question . . .

My mom works for a sign supply company, let me see if there's anything she can think of as far as removable vinyl graphics . . .

Most of the guys out there were using 'clings', I thought they would be magnets, but most weren't.

Check out your local instant sign shops for clear static cling vinyl. I did last year and found one that would let me buy from a vendor and have it shipped to her, at no cost by her. She would do this because she does not handle this kind of product. Then cut the clear vinyl into sections that will fit to the red line's body contours. Then apply decals and or vinyl lettering/numbers to the clear static cling base. completed sheets can then be stored on sheets of lexan. To install, the car must be free of dirt and otherwise clean. Just take a spray bittle and wet the side of the car and apply the large "decal" and squeege out the water like you would with window tint. I have seen this done on a few Vettes and lt looks pretty good.

Thats what I do. I have a local sign shop print all my #'s on one sheet of clear static cling. It cost about 30 bucks. I just whipe the bodyside down with a damp towel and the same for the #'s. I have had the car up to 95mph with them on. The only problem I have had was when it was cold. They dont stick to well when its cold. That why you see the tape around the edges in my picks from Gingerman last fall.

There is also a company that you can order removeable stick-on #'s from. I cant remember the link. I will ask someone at work tommorrow.

Can't you use that car chalk? That would be a little better than tape.

Well I have no actual input for this (go figure), but what is your number? If I had to choose it would be 00...I love the number 0.
