Default EZ Pass - Hate the look? Solution found!

New solution to eliminate the look of that unattractive white square on your windshield. EzShadow and new black attachment strips make the EZ Pass virtually invisible without impacting the EZ Pass use.

Not having the EZ Pass affixed creates safety issues at the toll plaza and the possibility of fines. You can paint yours black but it is messy and still leaves the attachment strips quite visible. EzShadow is the simple and inexpensive solution.

Check it out at www.ezshadow.com. See the difference it makes in the comparison below.

I just put mine up against the winshield when I come to the EZpass station and it beeps. Do this for all my vehicles as I hate that thing on the winshield. But I live in CA so maybe it is different here.

I hold mine up to the windshield when I need it and it's in the glovebox the rest of the time. Not really a problem here.

I knew someone would chime in with that... the glovebox in the rear center console.

Ours are little stickers with the RFID chips built into them. So now when you sell the car or replace the windshield the sticker is destroyed when you peel it off and they will glady sell you a new one for $15.00. You can not longer rent/lease it. You have to buy the sticker.

Someone posted that they hid it under the plastic near the drivers wiper and that worked.
You could not see it at all.

I just moved to Indiana to take care of this problem. There are no toll roads in Fort Wayne, so no EZ-Pass is required.

My car is white, so I guess the EZPass doesn't really stand out that much.

Now I'm going to have to go and check :P.

i put mine between the passenger seat and console. No one sees it there

the transponders always pick it up.

i live near Philly, and i go through 20-30 tolls a month.
