Default Vinyl window lettering for drag racing??

Anybody know where to buy the stuff? I've got plenty of dial-in numbers but can't find the letters that are the same size and used for NHRA numbers and driver names. A packet of letters similar to the dial-in numbers would be great. Summit didn't have a clue. Google is not much better.

Craft stores will have 6 inch letters.
Might pick out a vinyl mural place, those vendors who make vinyl signs for company vehicles.

Boat letter sets for the license numbers would probably work well - lots of colors and styles available.

Try Fedex/Kinkos copies. We had them make vinyl letters & a graphic for a store front window. This was a couple years ago, but they should still offer something similar.....Jb

Not sure on the sizes... But yes, any graphics/sign shop should be able to do.

How about the static cling type that you can put on the inside of the glass and take off or reapply as needed ?

Thank you everyone. Maybe I can trick Linda into picking up some when she's shopping. (without me of course.)

Tom, where would I find them?
I'm kinda lost if stuff isn't for cars, boats of houses. We even did our boat graphics via mail order.

Did you remember to get the reverse image on a clear back ground so, you can put it on the inside and read it from the outside ? How about Posting a picture when you have it installed ?
