EZ Pass placement
I do not want to mount the EZ pass on my windshield and there is no front plate for the optional pass. Since the body is mainly non metalic I was wondering if the pass could be mounted somewhere under the bumper or hood.
Has anyone tried this?

Not sure what style you pass is, but mine is a flat decal. After getting a tip from forum member I put it in the very top right (passenger) corner of the windshield. From the outside it is almost all hidden from view by the streak of tint that comes on the windshield. In this location you don't even notice it - inside or out.

EZpass?
Howdy,
I know you said you didn't want windshield mount, but did you ever see/consider the EZclip? That's a removable suction cup mount for the transponder:

I have the original black model, it worked great but the transponder kept spreading the plastic and falling out. Me, learning my rigging skills many years ago as a Vega (V8 swap of course) owner, I fingered out a fix: as long as you put the transponder in upside down (from how it's intended, but you still attach it with the arrows on the transponder facing up) and put a strip or two of single-sided foam rubber on the side of the transponder that goes against the windshied to keep it from rattling it will work like a charm.

I also did that until one time I was in an involved conversasion and forgot to hold it up going through the tolls. A couple of weeks later I got a letter ticket with a pic of my cars rear passing through the toll. Forgot how much the fine was but it was alot! I called and was able to talk my way out of it but they made it clear that was my one time pass.

In WA if the EZPass (called Good-to-Go here) fails to register they charge by using a photo of the license plate which is registered to the pass.
I just left the transponder off my Vette and get charged correctly every time. Don't know if that would work where you are.

Never had a problem. The hood is plastic, it's like it's not there. Yes you can trade for the license plate mount unit. Out of sight and out of mind.
