It doesn't work that way. A single mod like removing your carpet might push you to prepared, not SP, ST, or SM... Pick a specific mod, and look it up, or post it and we might help.

The cheapest way to do LEGAL numbers is:

1. Score some mag material from Tripp Plastics like $7 I think per foot of 24" wide stock. (Much better stuff than the Lowes vent covers)
2. Print some 900 point numbers, and some 500 point letters on your printer in the font of your choice (one of each)
3. Cut them out
4. Stick them to the mag material.
5. Trace the edges with pencil
6. Carefully cut out the mag material
7. Stick the first one to more material and trace it to make more of each as needed.
8. If you have a white vehicle, hit them with a couple coats of vinyl die.
9. Remember to make a pair of "1"s, and "L"s so you can easily have a co-driver, or heaven forbid, a lady drive your car.
10. If you are really board, make a couple "R"s as well for Run No Points

Mag material also makes great backing for any stickers of your choice.

You can also have custom numbers in custom colors cut and then stuck to mag material, but that may be a bit much to ask before next weekend. I'l let the guys who have that ability speak for themselves.

Oh, and Novices, You can actually get away with Single 8.5" X 11" paper numbers with the largest font you can fit an N, and a number on. Like 700 Point "N21"
