I would screw them in and then put a little strip of double sided tape on the bottom so it doesnt make that cheap ringing sound when you close the trunk.
I didnt like the idea of double sided tape as the dealers here put to prevent the cheap ringing sound when the bootlid is shut.

"Screw it!!!" (LOL just kiddding), . . . but I agree with 'Krozi' and I did my that way and it works great and with NO adverse noises what I close my trunk as it did it by using the four screws with caps, and using double sided tape between the back of my tag plate and the metal truck lid it sits next to.

I can't believe I'm giving this thought brain cycles. Are there people that actually tape their license plate on? I stop at Euro stickers people....

double sided tape is good if/when you get or want to avoid the no front plate ticket as well
