It is going to be really hard/impossible to get a 4 digit number on one side or the other (each only 11" wide including the 8" + the 3" from the edge of the side bumper)
I am not part of the Fairness Cult but this seems like a pretty big deal for 4 digit teams. If a 3 digit team can have an 8" bumper and a 4 digit team needs a wider one, ... ...well... that kinda stinks.

4 digit teams managed on 8" of bumpers last year. It can be done.
