Default No front plate...

But I wonder if I get that one (for weather proof reasons) if I can mount it somewhere behind the grill or bumper cover. If I don't have one of those "zones", and it doesn't work behind the cluster I'm gonna have to find some plan for the outside. But it has to be pretty stealth, or I'd always worry about it.

Default You can try for behind the grille. I tried mounting the exterior tag on my parents S500 down

low (bottom of license plate) and it didn't catch it usually. Sometimes it would. I had to mount it to the top of the license plate. So grill would probably be your best bet. Take some black zip ties and zip tie it behind the grille.

i guess it wont work through the windshield... so they mount these liitle black things on the cars. I thought it was a distance sensor of some type... guess not.

Default Those black holes are for diplomatic flags...but you can take a stick and mount

the EZPass onto the stick and stick it in that hole =D

makes sense... but my guess of a distance sensor is most logical!
