Using static-cling numbers really depends on the thickness of the material used. Real thin material (like kitchen wrap) will certainly bunch up. My number set is thick enough that it won't do that. I can pull them off starting at a corner and they just stay flat.

Anyone know of a place to get a static cling panel that includes three numbers and two class letters? For example, "390AS" all on one piece? Either a clear background or a solid background is fine. I would prefer applying one piece rather than individual pieces for autocross.

Just saw a great idea posted locally. They are mainly into magnetics but they came out with a dry erase panel. Got me thinking you could probably just use a dry erase marker on the car and wipe it off after but I haven't tried it.

I ordered 99ssp on a single panel. Let you know how it looks when i get them Wednesday. I didn't do static cling this time however, for the reasons mentioned above.

Solo Performance. I'll know next Saturday how well they stick to the car (or themselves). They are thicker material than my last set, so hopefully sticking to themselves and making a wrinkly mess will be less of an issue.

I just got these magnetic numbers. Has anyone tried a light coat of hairspray or hobby adhesive to hold them on?



Something like this?

My magnetic numbers were far too heavy to use hairspray on.

So, I used the numbers pictured above this weekend, and LOVED them. They are thick enough that they didn't crumble into a ball and stick to themselves when I peeled them off the backing, and went on the car with ease. They stuck to the car at speed and then at the end of the day they came off the car without wrinklinging up and went right back on the backing sheet. the backing sheet is much larger than the decals so that I had no problems putting the decals back on, even though it was pretty windy out. I'm really really pleased. I think the Solo Performance Panels were a great investment, and they look good too.

Those look great. Can I ask what they charged you for the custom panel?

Sure you can, it's right on the website. it was $41.90 plus shipping, which was $4.95, for a total of $46.85.

Oh, sorry. That's both sides of the car. It's tough to tell but the picture of them on my desk has two decals
