magnetic vent covers at lowes, couple bucks for a pack of 4 (I think) Proceed to chop out numbers however you'd like. I just made hand drawn block letters the size of the sheet w/ marker then cut them out. careful how you store them (pressed flat good). I let mine get bent/folded/curled and they refuse to flatten out.
Wow... I'd rather use painter's tape.

I taped the numbers to the vinyl and then traced them, removed the paper and cut using sharp scissors although a nice exacto blade would work well, I only had a utility knife.
I did think of it but decided against it because I made white numbers and didn't want the line around them.
I am guessing Aaron didn't go with white...
So it might work for him.

Well, I am going to buy a pre-cut set anyway, so if someone want's half of it, we both get 4 each of the numbers 0-9 for about $20 + S&H. Could also work with 4 people getting 2 full sets for $10 + S&H. I am looking at the 3" set.

I don't think CDC has requirements around number height but if you want to ever run SCCA you'll need 8" tall numbers.
