I like the 2-sided tape idea but if you do drill holes this is what I
did to affix the letters:

The old metal blind fixes (covered with plasticene) were too tedious
to remove for routine wash & wax, yet I would get a wax build up and
an uneven shine in the area around each letter.
Using small sections of thick-walled small ID rubber tubing pressed on
each post has held the letters (front & rear) quite securely for many
miles -- yet it is easy to remove the letters for thorough detailing.
Those who have seen the car will correctly suspect that this occurs
about once a year on a daily driver.
On the front letters I used just one piece of tubing for each letter,
longer and shaped into a U to go over both posts. Probably would work
on the rear but didn't figure that trick out until later.
