So, I'm drinking and looking for ideas (long week).. and photoshop hit my mind...

I'd like to put a car number on my car.. I'm tired of using shoe polish...

What does everyone do for numbers... rather, I'm looking at size, shape, placement... and color.

I don't really like that much red on my car... suggestions are welcome.

This is what I came up with...

Realize that they are really bad PS images.. it's mostly just for font ideas and placement.

I'm looking at running a couple NASA HPDE's this year.. not sure if that plays a roll in size, etc, or if it even matters.

comments + suggestions?

Wow! awesome. I really like the red shadow effect.

Whats the idea.. the 99's color is the same color as the ring around the white? (3 total colors?)

I should say that the image was taken in Feb 01.. Thats what sucks about being the photographer at your own events (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

The 'Trans Am' is now red reflective, as well as the front bird. Wheels are gunmetal grey. 996 brakes are red.

What font is that?

It's probably the most recent picture of my car... it now has a Blane spoiler on it (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

What font is that?

Arial .... keeping it simple.

4 colors ...
the ring is black to make everything pop.
background is a light shade of gray, 1/2 way between white and the silver paint on the car.
the numbers are a deep charcoal ... not quite black. I little darker than the interior.
And then the red shadow

Getting that big decal over the accent line and worse yet, the door guard, is gonna be a bitch!

You could always make it small enough to go on a magnetic sign and put it on the rear quarter panel somewhere.
I would tape down the leading edges, though.
