I just went to a local sign shop and had a pair of magnetic signs made, for $35 or so? I also put a piece of tape on the front and rear edges. Top speed at our local course was around 100 mph on the back straight, never had any problems at all.

I found some tape that was guaranteed not to damage car paint, and came in a bunch of colors to match. Can't remember where it came from, but it was one of the normal auto/detailing/race stuff web-sights. Looked very closely, but never saw any damage to the paint. It looks and feels like duct tape, but was from another manufacturer.

Lots of people just made numbers from the tape itself, and that worked fine too.

Note: gently wipe away all grit & dust with a clean cloth before applying the tape.

Good luck, have fun!
