Where do you all get your removable sponsor stickers and number decals? Are they all permanent?

Also, I like the night time glow or electric numbers you see at 24hr of Daytona or Le Mans. Where are those?

Anyone got air jacks that automatically lift car up?

Anyone run slicks with center lock ring?

The graphics are all vinyl. It's removable, but not reusable.

Air jacks are very expensive and totally useless for a car that you can fit a jack under. Once you have an undertray a jack won't fit under, then it's an option (by far the most expensive, plus its extra weight, and you need to cut out the floor for em.

Mono nuts are on Porsches. Never seen any on an evo, and it would be horribly expensive to add to an evo if you wanted too. I bet nemo and SSE would be the only ones I could think to actually do it.

you'll also have to haul around a large air tank for the air jacks. and no an air compressor probably wont do it. I'm pretty sure they need 200-300 psi.

The Le Mans number plates look like EL (electroluminescent panels). Probably could get the effect you want with reflective vinyl on magnetic numbers, from a sign shop, or ask SPS if they do custom work:

I really want to find those glowy numbers for my LeMons beast. I'll have to look up electroluminescent stuff. My car needs to actually make it to a night race!

The consensus from various Porsche-tards I know is that centerlock wheels for track use are a PAIN. Do not want. There's a special tool to get 'em on and off. The torque spec is something ridiculous like 300 or 400 ft-lbs. And some just...fall off, especially if you misjudge the torque specs. IMHO, you're better off spending the money on a nice impact gun and sticking to five-lugs.
