I bought my magnet material from a Silk Screening supplier. I believe most 
art stores will carry it, if not, silk screening suppliers will cary it 
for you. I bought some red vynal <SP?> sticker material and made my own nu
mbers and class letters. Works great. The only problem is that if you dont 
dust the bottom of the magnet material, it can scratch the paint. In 3 
years, this hasnt happened to me. 
The vynal  numbers seem to come off in a very short amount of time. Today 
there was this Corvette #77 that looked like a "7" and a backwards "7"  
because the part of the second seven came loose and was flappin in the 
breeze. I see this quite often, usually ending up loosing a letter or 
number.
There is also places where you can simply buy the numbers you want. Any 
size, any font, any color type thing. I believe Kevin's sponsor makes 
these?? Somebody from the list here has these on his autoxer. I cant seem 
to remember who tho.. 
Anyways..
