At multiple events, I have seen a miata with it's class and number printed on basic printer paper, inside a clear sleeve, and taped onto the car. I really like this idea and I want to do it my self. Unfortunately I have not had any luck getting a word processor to come up with a suitable font for narrow, tall numbers.

I would suggest that you keep on searching since there are at least 30 fonts on Microsoft's Word Processor since the 2003 version and there's at least 1 font that is good enough for narrow numbers. It's certainly cheaper than buying numbers from a vendor.

Or Photoshop Elements, which comes with some cameras.

Easiest answer: GRM
Longer answer: I had a Subaru site bookmarked on a previous computer that had same/similar numbers. It is something I came across on GRM (I have never owned a Subaru.). Having since switched computers, I no longer had the bookmark so the magic of Google brought me to this link given here.

Full confession: I have no idea what CCR stands for or even what state it is in. They due however have some nice numbers.

Central Carolina Region SCCA

Print your own numbers provided by HSCC. Look towards the bottom for a PDF of legal numbers and letters. I think we borrowed them from CCR. FYI, they will fit on the magnetic vent covers you can find at your favorite hardware store (~$5/3 pack).

Instead of a clear sleeve, you can get magnet backed printable material - I ran numbers like that for a while.
