OK so I signed up for the track day on Oct. 27th (why wouldn't I) and now I need to get the car ready for that and WCC06/ It's going to Rich next week for a look over and the routinue stuff, valve adj., bearings. brakes, etc. I am having new 205/50/15 Aenzies mounted on the Fuchs, and I'm still not sure about the AER wheels yet, the offset looks wrong. Anyway, now I've been assigned numbers by zone 7, ggr, etc. and need to get "gumballs"....so here is the question...do the vinyl numbers stay on well, can they be reused, and if so, how many times...I really don't want to keep the gumballs on...just not my style. Is a mag. gumball better and then do you put vinyl numbers on it or paint , or??? Talk to be OBwans.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Jim,
Magnetics are fine...as long as the back of the magnetic is clean and the surface you are putting it on is clean.
If I were you I would use a square or rectangle and then tape (painters tape) the periphery so the number doesnt move and you dont get dust behind it.

I used magnetics for years on my street/track cars with no problems as long as I used them that way. I had an orange and several red cars and never had any paint damage as long as I did the above.

If you do normal vinyls you can only use them once. some folks use a static vinyl but I have no experience with them.

you're going to have fun... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
