1. The white numbers on the shield are my Drag Race numbers from The Pursuit 2 which was today. Had a blast looking at all of your guys' rides and customizations.

2. Im Plasti Dipping the logo on the rims as we speak... pics up in an hour when they dry

Painters tape. Just take your time and it comes out very nice. Check the DIY plasti dip thread, there's a few posts that show the taping off.

Looks impressive. Now I am contemplating whether I should do this for my SGM, although the results are much nicer on lighter colour cars.
