I am thinking about making some magnets. Anyone want to split the cost of sheets and stuff?

Oh yeah Kevin no need to split costs etc as you just buy as much magnetic sheet as you need at TAP plastics. What I did was print out the numbers off word big enough(at least 8" tall) and cut them out, traced them onto the magnetic sheet, then cut that out. Then painted the magnetic numbers w/ krylon fusion spraypaint.

Nice Karlton. Okay. I'll have to stop at TAP Plastics in Fremont and grab sheets. I don't think there are any near here in Davis.

Bleh... Someone topped me in STX-N. I think it was that 06/07 WRX that had the STi wing and badges. That's okay. It wasn't like he did that much better than me.
