double sided tape. Use one that has a thin layer of foam. The thin scotch tape type won't work for long. If you want the to never fall off use the 3M trin tape.

.  Thanks ,that's what I was thinking,was kinda worried that any foam tape would be too thick and push the plaques too far out.Didn't realize there were different thicknesses available.Home depot carry that?

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"
