So here in East Coast, we pay a lot of tolls on our highways. So, many of us who doesn't like to slow down to pay toll, we opt for these small boxes called "EZ PASS". They are pretty awesome and I can usually drive thru toll booths without stopping.
However, there is a downside. They will ruin your front end look!
I know many members don't care but these small things irritate ME. So, during the first 6 months of my ownership, I used the INTERNAL white EZ PASS box which ruined the look of my Z front (and unbalanced the windshield area IMO). Take a look at the EPIC FAIL
So, I called them up (EZ PASS NJ) and asked them for an exterior tag. My initial plan was to open it up and mount them either under the dashboard or somewhere in the front fang BUT after some research (thanks to
), I found out it's against the LAW to temper with EZ PASS tags
Here's how I drove the next 6 months ... FAYLE
I tried this way for a bit but it cut off my personalized plate
Finally one day, I came up with an idea. I decided to paint the exterior tag black and mounted it on the back of the license plate. I wanted to make sure it works in the toll booth. After about a month of driving and NO TOLL misses, it was confirmed that this setup works great and much more stealthy than before

Painted gloss black
Mounted behind the plate
What you guys think? I think it's much more stealthy. Members in EAST Coast, let me know if you have EVEN more stealthy ideas
.
P.S. BTW I bought the cf front license plate cover from
HERE . Three main reasons for using cf
a. It's VERY lightweight. So, it barely puts any weight pressure on the front license bracket (which is already weakened by other AWESOME NorthEast drivers
)
b. It goes with my CF theme.
c. It covers the bottom portion of the tag slightly.
