You could buy magnetic numbers. I leave mine on. But it's not a DD. Course some people wouldn't want to DD with a wing either. Haters.

I have a 2011 Altima I drive everyday .... Z kind of spends most of its time in the garage. I like the numbers on there ... If I get hated on just because of the numbers I can't wait too see what happens when VBD Graphics gets done doing the whole car.

Prolly for SPOHN they would. I'm pretty slow they might stay on there.

I usually leave mine on for a couple weeks after. Last year I had hell getting my painters tape number off though... the detailer had to really work on it they said.

Going with Autointerests, May 26. Will be the first time with this club, so I don't yet know what they are like. All other days I've done so far were with MPV, they're good, lot of track time. There will be at least 2 Z34's on the 26, me and Spearfish25. I'll keep Grattan in mind, looks like 3balls goes there quite a lot.

I might be able to make that one. :P Are y'all doing both days or just Saturday? I wasn't a big fan of that group... felt a little disorganized compared to some other clubs. I hear they're improving though.

Nice, another Z! I'll be doing the Saturday only, Spearfish is doing both days. I'll be in the novice group though, first time at Gingerman. I assume you'll be at least intermediate?

Yeah. I'd probably do Intermediate... I had a pretty interesting instructor with them last time. Really got me on the power.

It was an incredible experience. I had lingering doubts all the way up until on the grid ready to go ... then everything after that happened so fast you won't have any time to question your "nerve".
