Default Some new lettering

I had David Farmer just make me some new numbers. He did a nice job.
I think I screwed up on the measurements. They are a little large.
What do you think. and if anyone has Pictures of theirs please post them

Looks good. How hard was it to get straight on the hood?

I agree w/ you. . . looks a bit large.

I think you can go w/ smaller numbers and lettering and not lose any legibility due to the high contrast (white/black).

I think the numbers look great.... good size. The letters "TTA" on the sides may be a tad big, but I wouldn't sweat it.

I'm getting ready for some new numbers. How much did that cost if you don't mind me asking here. I've been making them out of contact paper so they were easily removable but I think I'm safe that not many others are using "my" number (316) so I'm going to go with vinyl.

Not bad. I measure off the of the hood and put a straight line across where the top of the number will be then one side and just spray it really good with water. They are not hard to do just don’t get the paper wet until last minute.

$106 but mine used a lot of material.

The numbers are great. The whole purpose is so timing and scoring and corner workers can see who you are. You satisfy that well.

Large ? standing still maybe, but while your moving, bigger is easier to see
