ZugZugMcD Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) I've always hated having that big white EZ Pass stuck to my windshield. Sure I could have put it somewhere else and more out of sight... But I still had a little bit left in my can of Plasti-Dip :rock: Before: After: Yes...very dirty car Edited July 21, 2009 by ZugZugMcD 2009 MINI Cooper S Clubman
wolf617 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 Excellent concealment!:top: Does it still function? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Mach V Dan Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 Looks good. I had the same thought; sprayed it with some black Rustoleum. --Dan Mach V FastMINI.net
Edge Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 If you don't have a sunroof, that's an excellent mod! If you do have a sunroof, you can hide your EZ Pass in the rear sunroof. Works great! Out of sight, out of mind. I also covered mine in black electrical tape, to make it even more hidden. I wanted to paint it, but the sensor is still the property of VDOT, and when you return it (after the battery dies), they expect it back in original condition or they'll charge you a bunch for it! Found that out when I was visiting their offices and someone else tried to return theirs when it was covered in permanent marker (to black it out). They made the guy either pay for it, or take it home to clean it up. :laugh: "Mr. OEM" - 05 JCW (TK, GPIC, SS, GPTA, R56 RSB, StBr, R56 BBK, GPWhls, SV, RS, R56 GSI, IES, StrWhl, GK, HG, LBIT) MCS, HB/HB, Packs: 1, 2, 3 & 4.

Jonshungry Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 I'm in love with Plasti-dip for this reason. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ZugZugMcD Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Posted July 21, 2009 Excellent concealment!:top:Does it still function? Yes it still works. Perhaps we have different policies in MD. When the battery died on my wife's EZ Pass, she just received a replacement. And now we can pick them up at the grocery store... I like the sunroof idea! :idea: 2009 MINI Cooper S Clubman
ZugZugMcD Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Posted July 21, 2009 I'm in love with Plasti-dip for this reason. Ha! :top: Works great! I blacked out my grill and headlight trim late last year. It's starting to show small chips now but instead of adding another coat to cover, I bought some gloss black vinyl. 2009 MINI Cooper S Clubman

And now we can pick them up at the grocery store...That's probably it. Here in VA we have Smart Tag. They are compatible ever since they linked the systems, but it seems they administer them differently.I like the sunroof idea! :idea:I wish I could claim originality... but I can't.

Erebus Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 I put mine on the rear sunroof, like Edge said, and I also bought a black one of these: http://www.mrkgroup.net/store2/product_info.php?cPath=120&products_id=398 so you can barely see it on the inside. 09 MBM JCW

e30r56 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 Haemish, that still works with the vinyl on the sunroof? Cool. If it isn't something you use everyday, they make suction cup mounts for it. I leave mine in the glove box til I need it, then just stick it to the windshield when I go on a trip. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Maxicooper Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 they make suction cup mounts for it. I leave mine in the glove box til I need it, then just stick it to the windshield when I go on a trip. I use the suction cup mount and stick on the rear sunroof. Work perfectly.
