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.

I got mine from a local shop belonging to one of my local groups member. We had a Vinyl Party where he just charged for materials and he cut the vinyls for us but we did the manual applying of the vinyls and cutting of the heavy magnet sheet. It was a lot of fun to do. I got my numbers as big as I can fit on the quarter panel and as you can see they are plenty legible and look great.

I also got an extra 1 digit for when my wife co-drives.
