Exclamation Need your help!!

I am developing a product to mount and conceal toll transponders (like E-ZPass) for high end vehicles...its going to get rid of the ugly white brick.
I need dimensions of the different kind of E-ZPass type transponders, trying to make it work with as many different ones as possible. There is just no info on the web.

These are the ones I need:
FasTrack (pre 2011 model)
FasTrack (2011+ model)
SunPass (there are 3 different versions, something like 3"x4.25", 5"x4", and new 5"x2")
E-ZPass Flex (for HOV lanes)
E-ZPass 'mini' - it might be called "E-ZPass On the Go"
Any others that I do not have on the list

Please help me, I need accurate dimensions suitable enough for me to make a good CAD model of these different transponders, length, width, height, and any other features.

I Have the MarkIV E-ZPass dimensions already (I own one) that covers:
I-Pass
C-Pass
Fastlane
I-Zoom
I-Tag
Palmetto Pass
Smart Tag

Anyone who gives me good info will get a free mount. These will retail for $25

Not which of the types this is, but in case you need it.

Width > Length > Greater height > Lesser height > Length of bump

Can't help you with measurements, but I agree; the white brick is ugly as hell. So… I masked off the label and spray painted mine flat black. Now it's virtually invisible. Obviously, the "decision" to go with white plastic was given no thought whatsoever. Black would would be far less unattractive on any vehicle.

Put a sock on it.

That's what I did: used an old black sock to cover my EZ-pass. Looks nice, very unobtrusive on a gray car with black interior.

My wife jjust got a white Infiniti with slate (very light gray) interior. The white EZ pass stands out as badly as it did on my RX-8. We're certain that a black sock will work well - the windows are tinted a little (just factory) and the rear view mirror is black.

I'll take pictures and post a DIY when I get around to socking her.

That's what a few of us have done with the Illinois I-Pass transponders. The "deposit" on them is minimal, so cost isn't an issue.
