The armoring material, which is determined by the clients’ requirements; is stuffed and welded into the voids. Steel plates, a combination of ballistic nylon and Kevlar are bolstered upon the doors depending on the protection needs. It is designed in such a way that the floor and ceiling are generally lined with ballistic fabrics and stock bumpers crumple and absorb energy during major impacts. 

2] Windows 

Windows are the common place of attack. When bullet-proofing a car, polycarbonate (a type of plastic) and leaded glass are blended to form the unbreakable glass; the “Transparent Armor”. The thickness of the glass can be changed depending on the risk the client is being exposed to. The thickness ranges from 0.8 inch to 2.0 inches.

3] Tires

When faced by a bullet attack; it is essential that your car remains in motion. Conventional tires do not possess the capability to stand up to gunfire since bullets could shred the stiff sidewalls these tires rely on for functioning.
