I got mine through iZoomGraphics. Always a quality part. They have various styles/fonts on their website which I've used before. This time I had them make a set custom for me since I wanted a plate rather than individual pieces.

Pics of mine are at web.me.com/darionscard

I don't know what's up with iZoomGraphics, but the guy doesn't answer his phone or return e-mails.

You can buy magnet sheets from ebay. They're pretty cheap. Use something really sharp to cut them, like a really good pair of precision scissors or an xacto knife. If you do it carefully, they can turn out pretty nice.

Don't get the magnetic sheets Michaels crafts supply because they're too thin and fly away when you turn hard (I lost 3 numbers and 2 letters at one event).

30mil thickness is what you want.

You can get 30mil, 24" wide mag material by the foot here:

If you cut mag material with a knife, you don't have to cut all the way through, maybe ½ way or less, then just bend it and it will break cleanly.

My YouTube from my final "X" run, first heat - it was freakin' slick!

Wow, 3+ G's to the left but not even 1 to the right. Must be a nascar Miata

I made a note of the false data in the YouTube post!

Thanks everyone for the recommendations, I ended up ordering a 2'x4' sheet from this site, only 18 bucks plus ~6 shipping.

Funny...I actually used them for a letter plate and it worked well...::shrug:: maybe because I didn't cut them out?

good to know though! I was considering using it again for some stickers I was going to put on. Might second guess that now.

The thick vinyl low tack numbers he made for Brian and now us are excellent ... best fiberglass solution that I've seen.
