Best Adhesive for letters?

I had some new "U280" letters made for the back of the coach. Made from a black plastic material on an engraving machine.
Would like some opinions / experience on what adhesive to use to attach lletters to the fiberglass with.

I'll post some pics later.

If your DW has a "eagle eye" standing away to align it, so much the better. Remember, you've got one shot!  ^.^d

I plan to use the cut-out as a template also, it should hold letters in alignment.
As long as the DW can get the template level.

Now if I can figure out how to invert the photo with an I-Phone....

When taking photos with your iPhone have the shutter button to the right or down.  The resulting pictures should appear oriented as you hope in everywhere outside of the 🍎 world.
