I blur my plates because I don't necessarily need people to associate that plate with my car. It's a privacy/paranoia issue. And so, if I'm taking pictures of other cars, my rule of thumb is that I don't blur vanity plates, because I assume the owner bought them to show them off. But I do blur standard plates by default as a courtesy in case the owner is as paranoid about personal privacy as I am.

I only hit tollbooths twice each way to/from work, but I just keep my Sun Pass in the little cubby area and pull it out and hold it near the window going through a booth. It isn't the most convenient, but it's better than having that ugly thing attached to my windshield. My car stays decal, sticker, and Sun Pass free!

i should try this inside cubby mounting for my Z. i dont usually drive my Z on toll roads so i dont have a transponder dedicated for it yet.

I don't even pull mine out of the cubby and it always triggers when I go through the booth.

Nah I think his plate says Balll Z

Mine definitely isn't that strong of a signal unfortunately. Even when I hold mine up, sometimes it doesn't register. It isn't the battery either, it's probably just because it's a POS.

It says AK 370 Z

I just ordered the CF plate frame. Stupid front plates in Texas...

In other news...does anyone know the legality of blacking out the back of toll tag stickers in Texas? Does it matter if they are visible? If not, putting this behind the plate or in the cubby would be great. These things look like trash on my progressively more blacked out Z...

Cool idea.
I just keep mine in the cubby and sit it on the dash when I go through the toll.
Works every time and I don't have to have it stuck on the windshield.

Really?? I'll have to give this a try next time.

Same here. Here in dallas i take the tolls so i place the tag inside the cubby storage without taking it out to trigger. Found this out when I got tired of it sliding off the dash or removing it from the glove box. Plus it is out of the way for thieves.

Did you know you dont technically need the pass visible at all. I have had my Ipass (what we use here in Illinois) in my Z for over a year, and also in my Jeep for 2 and a half years, and the passes have ALWAYS stayed in my glove box. I use the tolls about 8 times a day and I have not gotten one single ticket or missed toll bill whatsoever. And my Z doesnt even have a front plate. What happens is, notice all thos cameras that are set up at the tolls? wel those things take a picture of and scan your license plate. It files into the computers and makes the connection that your license plate number has a registered Ipass account and then just deducts the toll from there. I know this for sure works in Illinois for our system. Idk how well it will with the EZpass or other states. But its worth the risk of trying out and never having to worry about those damn ugly white boxes again :)

Hope this is useful to some people.

Do you have the chunky white box or the sticker? I am going to experiment with other locations to put the sticker I have.

I just hold mine up as it is in the center console.


I got my Ez-pass in VA before MD implemented it. So now I don't have to pay the monthly MD surcharge. Stickin it to the man where I can...

I could not imagine crossing the bridge over here that many times in a day since they just raised the cost to $5 and now require carpool to pay $2.50.
