I am looking to get some permanent numbers made for the car, but with so little steel on the car I was wondering what people are using and where to get it. Currently I use blue painter's tape and I'm tire of doing that routine. I see Vette guys with all sorts of stuff stuck on their cars and wonder how they are doing it? Is it permanent? Does it harm the finish if left on? Ideally I'd like to remove the numbers/letters when not racing so don't look like a ricer driving around with a car all stickered up.

The Vette guys have to use the static-cling vinyl. Since out rear fenders are steel, magnetic numbers work. The small end of the legal size range for numbers and class letters will fit. You can get two 8" digits between the door and fender arch, with (barely) room for a leading 1 if you scoot them up a little higher. The class letters will fit over the fender arch. That still leaves some room behind the arch for sponsor magnets.

I have a black car, so on a really hot day the magnetic numbers may stick to the finish a little. Wax does not seem to help, but I lightly dust the back of the magnet with a dry teflon spray to keep it from sticking.
