It would definitely simplify the bumper corner construction process for teams, at least we think so.

We tried the iron on numbers in the kit but had no luck with them. I'm not going to claim we put them on correctly mind you but we really couldn't get them to stick. We opted for paint this past year since we had used it previously. That and the standard bumper fabric.

We are aiming to do more this year... assuming the rules allow for it.

How about pool noodles? Who is using hollow core and who is using solid core?
Ah, I see what you are saying. Yeah they are quite tricky to put on.
