How To Apply Date Formatting And Add Attributes To A Textbox In MVC3

In my application, I want all dates to display in the MM/DD/YYYY format and I also want the text box to be limited to 10 characters and have a certain class applied to it.

To that end, I made a custom editor template for Date that looks like this:

@ModelType System.Nullable(Of DateTime)
@Html.TextBoxFor(Function(d) d, New With {.class="polkDate", .maxlength="10"})

Then in my view I just can just call @Html.EditorFor(Function(m) m.someDate) and this works pretty well. However, because I'm using TextBoxFor, it doesn't respect the DisplayFormat attribute that's applied to my model class (i.e. it's spitting out the time as well instead of formatting the date).

I would love to use EditorFor so that it would respect the formatting that I want, but you can't add attributes like class and maxlength. I also tried just using the plain old TextBox helper, but I don't know how to make it generate the correct ID so that model binding still works.
