Cheapest place I have found is izoomgraphics.com you can get a basic set for about $30. You can get some really nice ones for about the price that most other places charge for a basic set of numbers.

You can also use Magnetic stock from a hobby shop and print nubers on Avery waterproof mailing labels. The mailing labels can be found at OfficeMax. I don't think Office Depot carries these. I could have it backwards though. These will not work with an inkjet printer, so you will either need to have a laser printer, or go to Kinkos to print them out.

Something that others use temporarily is painter's masking tape. This can be found at any Wal-Mart, and I have yet to see it damage anyone's car.

If you want to do them really cheap you can by the sheet magnet at hobby lobby and make your own numbers. If you were so inclined. :D

Even better, you can order bulk magnetic material cheaper online and do it yourself. I'm not a member of Team Cheap Bastard for nothing! :mrgreen:

OK,

I've got my magnetic sheets, the number style that I want. Now what size do they (numbers and class designation) need to be???

I think that I read that they the numbers need to be 8" tall and the class need to be 6" is that correct or something else :?:

I bought 12"x24" sheets for 8 bucks each and a silver vinyl for 1 dollar per foot.

Gonna cut them out before sunday so I can go RACING :lol:

Man I wish that I could get out more than once a month :cry:

POS, how happy are you with your protape numbers? I got some from them, and they seem almost too thick. They wont really adhere to the car that well. SAMMM let me use his numbers at the last S2k event, and those were a little thinner and worked great, altough I think I am going to make my own.

Altiain, do you have source?

IIRC the dimensions are 8" tall for numbers and 4" for the class. Numbers are to be 2" brush strokes and class is 1"

If you have replaced the door rather than use the can of Bondo the magnets might stick better! :shock: :lol:

Mine are 3 seasons old and I still have them, so I guess the work pretty good! :thumleft:
