EZ Pass MOD
I used to have a black nylon pouch with 2 suction cups. I lost it in the transition to the new car so I decided to be creative. Here are a few mods. What do you guys think? One is a mesh bag that hangs from the rear view. I don't love this idea but if I can add some non slip to it I might use that as a dashboard toss style. The other is drawer liner (nonlip) it wraps around the ezpass and if you just toss it on your dash it won't move.

Can you say hard plastic projectile? I wouldn't toss that thing on your dash without more support.
Just get one of these.

I painted my EZPass black like yours and used this holder. Can barely see it from the outside.

Good call Boner. That could be dangerous as hell flying around the cabin.
Personally I like the Velcro mounting. It looks so much neater than suction cups. I've recently noticed that some people have their EZ-Pass mounted on the front license plate. Ugly, but outside your field of vision. Thoughts?

Stay away from the plate mounted pass. The first time some moron taps your bumper, the case crack. One rain storm and it stops working. I went through 3 on my 745.

Thieves might think there's a wallet sitting on the dash.  (could just be the pictures though)

since they are so ugly on the windshield, i keep mine in the glovey and pull it out and hold it up going through......not a big deal.

+1, excatly what I do. (edit - after re-reading... not exactly what I do I just set mine on top of the dash gear cluster rather than holding it)
The non-slip pad is a good idea. Think I'll glue one to the bottom of my fast past (i.e. velcro side) so it stays on the dash better when I pull it form the glovebox and toss it on the dash for the 30 or so seconds it will sit there.
Thanks for the idea NYCE60M5.

My TollTag pass is velcroed to the back side of my state inspection sticker.
Hidden from the outside and not obvious inside. You have this 3x4 sticker on your windshield already so why not make use of it?

This is exactly what I did with mine but with the holder that Bones uses...you can't see it from the outside is why I put it there...

I spray-painted mine black and velcroed it to the top of the windshield behind the rearview mirrow and under the tint. It is basically invisible.
