You should have just tinted the top of the windshield, AK! That also hides radar detectors.

I too have an EZPass, the white box kind. I have an even stealthier solution. Since I didn't buy nav, I just stick it in the cubby. It still registers as I drive through, and since my Z is registered with the state of MD, it's not like they can b*tch.

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 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.

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.

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.

Nice work AK, when you have a front plate to work with. Like others, I paint mine. On my old MINI Cooper I painted the EZ Pass checkered flag (matched the roof. Looks ridiculous on my Mazda 3 now!). When I get one for the Z, I'll paint it black and then paint a "Z" in white or silver on it.

Glad to see others find them so ugly in their standard issue off white!

Haha...just saw this interesting thread. I know exactly how you feel because I also use the NJ external EZpass. It is ridiculously ugly on the front license plate, which is already a sin itself to this car.
