Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is it legal to use a license plate slider?
Our PL8 SLIDER is sold as a novelty or off-road accessory. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with local traffic laws. In most countries, hiding your license plate on public roads is illegal. However, the PL8 SLIDER can be used legally on private property, during car meets, on race tracks, or for display purposes.
Always check your local laws before using this product on public roads.
2. How does the PL8 SLIDER work?
The PL8 SLIDER is a remotely controlled frame system that allows you to instantly slide your license plate open or closed with the press of a button. It’s sleek, fast, and easy to operate from inside your vehicle or nearby.
3. Is it easy to install?
Yes. Most customers install it in under 15 minutes using common tools. We provide a step-by-step installation guide with each order. No special wiring knowledge is needed — just basic mechanical installation.
If you're unsure, your local car accessory shop or mechanic can help you install it quickly.
4. Will this fit my car?
Yes — the PL8 SLIDER is available in two formats:
-
🇺🇸 U.S. Plate Format: Fits standard North American license plates (most U.S. & Canadian vehicles).
-
🇪🇺 European Plate Format: Fits standard European-sized plates (longer and narrower dimensions).
The exact measurements are clearly displayed in the product images on each product page. Be sure to check which format your country uses before ordering.
5. Does it block the view of the plate when open?
Not at all. When open, the PL8 SLIDER fully reveals the license plate with no obstruction. It's designed to comply with visibility standards when in the active/open position.
6. Can I drive with the plate hidden?
No — the slider is not intended to hide your plate while driving on public roads. It’s meant for use in private settings only such as car shows, off-road exhibitions, or personal garages.
Driving with the plate hidden in public may result in legal penalties or fines.
7. What is the product made of? Is it durable?
Each unit is built from high-quality aluminum and impact-resistant ABS plastic, designed to resist weather, vibration, and normal wear-and-tear. Built for both form and function.
8. Is it waterproof and safe in the car wash?
Yes, the PL8 SLIDER is weather-resistant and splash-proof, suitable for most weather conditions and light washing. However, we recommend avoiding high-pressure jet washes directly on the mechanism for longevity.
9. Do you ship internationally?
Yes — we offer worldwide shipping. Rates and estimated delivery times are shown at checkout depending on your location.
10. What is your return policy?
We offer a 14-day return policy on all unused products in their original packaging. If you're not satisfied, contact our support team and we’ll assist you with the return process.
11. What if the slider stops working?
Our units are tested before shipping, but if yours malfunctions:
-
Check battery power (for remote)
-
Ensure clean, secure wiring
-
Make sure no debris is blocking the slide system
If issues persist, our customer service team is available to help or guide you through a replacement process if needed.
12. Will police officers react if they see this on my car?
Yes — law enforcement may become curious or suspicious if they see a plate slider installed, even if it's in the open position. Officers often inspect such systems to ensure compliance. This is why we stress: use only in private settings unless local laws explicitly allow otherwise.
