Default Autocross car numbers

So with the new to me '93 coupe, I'm going to need a new set of car numbers and class letters. I have found 3 websites that offer reusable vinyl number/letter sets at a reasonable price and they offer a variety of colors and font styles.

I had been using a set of static cling numbers that I got from a local sign shop but they only provide static cling numbers in black. The car color is Black Rose Metallic so black numbers would not stand out.

The online companies are Solo Performance, iZoom Graphics, and Squier Design. Anybody have experience with them in terms of quality of the product and/or delivery? Any other companies out there I can look at??

Go to Wal-Mart and get white shelf paper. Stick the white paper on your black numbers and your done.

I use solo performance reusable on my car and am very happy with them.

I have a friend that uses magentic izoom numbers on her wrx and they are pretty nice.

I think you would do well with either.

Solo Performance - great , the numbers lasted a season.
Then I talked with Dave Farmer - Dave Farmer stickers are still on the car after several years.

+1 Dealt with for years. Ready to use with backing for storage.

They also sell bulk material in 3 colors cheaper but you need something to stick them on when not racing. I use an old sign both sides for different numbers. I use white. Other two colors are thicker is all. Excellent instructions on adjusting the stickiness to suit.

I've been using iZoom for several years for both Track and autocross numbers. Their magnetics are great, and the re-usable vinyl is just as good.

I've ordered a few times through Solo performance and they have good customer support, I even had a custom logo made once and they worked with me on it. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again.

However, seeing David Farmer's support on the forum and his overall Corvette knowledge I might make my next order through him.

For my class letters I had a bunch of vinyl transfer-ons made by Fast Signs. For my numbers I had been using K&N Magnetics but, my last order with them was extremely slow. Inwon't be using them again.

In the future, I may try Solo Performance. I wonder if Solo Performance is the old Solo Time from the 90s?

I'm pretty sure they are. I think even a few years ago there was still a tie in on the web site or with the web address used.
