Just curious what should be on the side of the car for numbers? I am going to order a set up but do I need the class also? or just the numbers?

Thanks

numbers and class helps alot. high contrast colors and big would be preferred from a seeing the car from across the lot and being able to identify what the number is.

that would be awesome!!

White is very common, black also, there are a couple guys with Yellow.

as for size, ask yourself if you can read it from 200 yrds away.

10 or 12 would be optimum *imo.

Black would be crap actually. Red is a dark color so black won't show up.

Correction. Red cars are so fast any number other than neon/dayglow ones will just appear as a blur.
