numbers on bumpers
This year the numbers are supposed to be 4" high and located on the bumpers. (R15).

How to do this? There is no 4" high flat surface on the bumpers. Paint on the cloth might work (stenciled), but might get rubbed off during energetic action; the cloth is pretty slippery. An applied number would get pulled off.

Right now our best idea is a transparent flexible plastic panel like milk bottle material. The number could be on the back surface and show through, and the panel could be secured with zip ties around the whole bumper.

Any thoughts?
