Default Custom 911 E-Z PASS

I never liked the look of the regular E-Z Pass in the standard white color.

So I asked my wife to customize it one day given that she has great artistic skills.

One day I came home and saw an interesting E-Z Pass on the kitchen island that she created for me. I was amazed.

I just rest it on the dashboard under the windshield and it works just fine and at the same time looks great.

I really like it a lot, it goes well with the decor of the vehicle's interior.

It will now however need to be upgraded to read 911 GTS.
She says this time I need to make an appointment!

In case anyone wants to make this simple mod, I thought I would share it with everyone...

Looks nice.

I just painted mine flat black, which makes it disappear when attached to window. You just have to get black velcro strips too.

I just lay mine on the dash like this and seems to stay in place:

No ticket on that particular stop going into Manhattan via Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. But he did say next time he would give me a summons for no plate and that he would confiscate the EZ Pass.

Otherwise No front plate ticket if I remember correctly have been $138 from prior stops.

I have painted mine satin black in every car, and use the clear 3M mounting strips as some of you mentioned. Completely blends in with the top of the windshield and hides nicely behind the rear-view mirror. I still have no idea why they don't just offer them in black right from the get-go!

I too had mine painted black - it was confiscated at a toll booth entering Manhattan. Apparently, you are not allowed to paint them - had to get a new one. Not the worst of issues, but a pain nonetheless. Just a heads up.

I prefer to just plasti-dip it black so it's not permanent.

I used flat black paint, too. They disappear. We also have the new(er) EZ Passes that are about 1/3 the size of the picture posted above. I expect to get dinged about $30 each from the IDOT for painting mine. Worth it, since they are suppose to last about 10 years. Hopefully by the time the internal battery dies, IDOT starts providing black ones, and they won't notice.

That's awfully sweet. But I do find that hidden behind the rearview mirror is much less obtrusive than sitting on the dash. You have a great wife there.

Nice mode, but you must not corner very hard if it doesn't move.
