Are you tired of EZ-PASS tags ruining your 370Z front end? If yes, then click HERE:
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 Exterior tag 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.

Win.
Thankfully down here in VA we don't have much in the way of toll booths. Though whenever I am driving further north I just borrow my boss's EZ pass. I just leave it on the dash.

Nice idea. I didn't even know you could get those exterior tags. In Illinois we use I-Pass mainly (looks like your interior transponder). JB1 painted his black and I followed suit. Now it's very incognito. Just get a can of spray enamel and have at it. Pics to follow.

OFF TOPIC X 2: why do people blur out their plates? Do people sit around on the internet and run plate numbers to get peoples info or what?
I did it in a few of my pics, because everyone else was......

I figure if you have a vanity plate you might as well show the world. If you have regular state issued plates then I guess you can blur it out.

Looks good AK. But here in FL we don't have front license plates....i need some ideas on where to put my e-pass. Was just gonna throw it up on the dash board when passing through the toll booths. We also have option to buy a sticker, but that has to go on windshield and it looks terrible from outside.

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.
