To all you racers with nice looking graphics, where did you get your numbers and plates? Is there a local shop that does that sort of stuff reasonably? ebay?

I'm not looking doing anything too nuts but the plain numbers as required by the rule book (8" high, 1" wide) are too huge to fit right in many cases and they look pretty terrible when crammed together.

While I am doing some digging, what's the norm for establishing the number area? Painted on? Vinyl?

Clearly I have too much time on my hands and I am trying to get some of the cosmetic stuff worked out in the winter. Tips on this critical performance-enhancing, lap-time-lower subject would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Jamie
