Awesome. Are they magnet or vinyl?

I have David at big worm making me a couple of 9s that I'm picking up tomorrow. Let me know if you want me to have him cut you some too and I can bring them with my Saturday morning at least for this one.

Yeah sure that'll be good. Can you ask him for 6 (9)s in carbon fiber vinyl? If he can't then satin dark silver. Or do you want me to do it and I'll just get you to pick them up? I'll go in with you on them if it's better for him so he can use as little material as possible. As log gas you're ok with other of those colors. Haha.

sounds like one of the other guys has you covered, let me know if that changes. also stay away from dark colors if your car is dark, (not sure what car you have) because if you do an SCCA event they have some stricter rules as to visibility and size of the numbers.

I'm getting Big Worm to cut me some only because of the quick turn around I need them for. Plus I have other stuff he's been holding for me that I need to pick up, so it just adds to the order.

I will contact you probably closer to the start of the season to get a true magnetic plate with a number on it.

Do you have any pics of yours by chance?

Here is a pic of mine. Couple years old still looks ok. For reference these are 9"x12". Pros and cons to having a number plate. I like this style better because I've seen individual numbers fly off, with more surface area I haven't experienced that issue. Down side is if someone registers before you with your number your back to using painters tape numbers. The club I ran with in NH used to have a season sponsor, and you had to display their logo thus the empty white space at the bottom of the plate. I would just run a decal in that area and peel it at the end of the season. All the talk of numbers and getting new ones cut ETC has made me decide to do a redesign, so these are now retired.

How well have the magnets held up? Because I've heard that after a couple of uses, the magnets just stop sticking.

I emailed him today about cutting some silver ones for my car. I don't know if he cut them yet, so go ahead and email him and just mentioned that we talked about it here.
