Lightweight, certified ballistic protection — professionally installed with zero visible modifications. Gardstrike adds NIJ-rated composite panels and UL752 ballistic glazing to your vehicle while preserving its factory appearance, available through Ceramic Pro Fuel House as a certified Elite Dealer.
Gardstrike is a bullet-resistant upgrade for everyday vehicles. It adds tested composite panels and reinforced glass. Both hide behind your factory panels. Your car looks stock, inside and out.
Two packages cover two levels of risk. Hybrid stops handgun rounds. Max stops rifle rounds. We confirm your exact coverage in writing before work starts.
Real protection that nobody can see. Panels and glass are rated to NIJ and UL752 standards. Every package carries a 10-year warranty.
The smart starting point. Hybrid stops common handgun rounds and stays light. Panels mount behind your factory panels, so nothing shows. Best for daily drivers.
Our top system. Max stops rifle rounds across the doors, pillars, and body. The panels are up to 80% lighter than steel. The glass stays clear, and the car still drives like stock.
Security film is thin. Full steel armor is heavy. Gardstrike sits in between. You get lab-tested materials, certified glass, trained installers, and a real warranty.

A certified installer specs the system, installs it, and stands behind it. We also give you paperwork for your insurer or fleet records.
The panels and glass are rated to NIJ and UL752 standards. Independent labs run the tests. These are not marketing claims.
Everything mounts behind your existing panels and glass. Body lines do not change. The car still looks factory.
Pick handgun-rated or rifle-rated coverage. We scope the job clearly up front. Certified techs do the work.
The panels and glass are tested for repeated hits. They hold together after more than one round strikes the same area.
The composite panels weigh up to 80% less than steel armor. Handling, suspension, and fuel economy stay the same.
Every installation includes a 10-year product warranty. As a certified Elite Dealer, we provide documentation for insurance or fleet records.
Call us and tell us about your vehicle and your concerns. We then recommend Hybrid or Max.
Panels are cut for your exact make and model. We confirm the coverage areas and book your install date.
Certified techs fit the panels behind your doors, pillars, and body panels. Nothing shows from outside. We also install the rated glass. Work is done in-house in Overland Park, KS and takes 3–6 days.
We check every install before you get the car back. We verify panel placement, fit, finish, and that it drives like stock.
You leave with full paperwork and your warranty registered. That covers 10 years, plus ongoing Elite Dealer support.
Your car looks stock and drives stock. The protection is there when you need it.
Gardstrike is a next-generation modular ballistic protection system designed to integrate discreetly into passenger vehicles while meeting NIJ and UL752 ballistic standards. Each panel is built from military-grade UHMWPE fibers and advanced composites. The system installs behind OEM panels, maintaining your vehicle's factory appearance while providing certified ballistic protection. Every installation comes with a 10-year product warranty and is backed by Ceramic Pro Fuel House as a certified Elite Dealer.
Gardstrike Hybrid uses NIJ Level IIA/II-compliant composite panels with UL752-certified glazing — handgun-rated protection for discreet daily use. Gardstrike Max uses NIJ Level III composite panels with UL752-certified or optional Level III ballistic glass — rifle-rated protection for maximum coverage. Both offer Full Vehicle, Front Half, and Windows Only configurations, confirmed during consultation based on your vehicle and needs.
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) sets the official U.S. standards for ballistic protection. NIJ compliance means materials have been independently tested and verified against specific threat levels — not just marketing claims. NIJ Level IIA/II protects against common handgun calibers including 9mm and .357 Magnum (Gardstrike Hybrid). NIJ Level III protects against rifle rounds under 3,000 fps including AR-15, AK-47, and .308 calibers, and requires full body panel installation with Level III ballistic glass (Gardstrike Max).
Three configurations. Full Vehicle provides the broadest ballistic coverage across doors, pillars, and body cavities. Front Half focuses on the driver and front-passenger zones, the A/B pillars, and front doors. Windows Only focuses on vehicle glass using UL752-certified ballistic glazing. Final availability depends on your vehicle type and selected protection level.
No. Gardstrike installs behind OEM panels, maintaining a factory look inside and out. Panels integrate within doors, pillars, and body cavities without altering body lines, interior dimensions, or aesthetics. At the Max level, ballistic glass may appear slightly thicker than factory glass but maintains optical clarity.
Yes. Both the composite panels and ballistic glass are engineered for multi-hit protection in accordance with NIJ standards. The system is designed to withstand multiple impacts in the same general area, providing sustained protection during real-world threat scenarios.
Most Gardstrike installations take 3–6 days, depending on vehicle type and package. Installations are performed in-house at our Ceramic Pro parent facility in Overland Park, KS and coordinated through Ceramic Pro Fuel House in Bonner Springs. Certified technicians install each panel, apply ballistic glass treatments, and complete a quality inspection confirming factory appearance and full drivability before delivery.
No. Gardstrike uses engineered UHMWPE composite materials up to 80% lighter than traditional steel armor. The system is designed to maintain drivability, suspension integrity, and performance with no noticeable impact on handling, braking, or fuel efficiency.
All Gardstrike components are modular and can be replaced individually without removing the entire system. If a panel sustains ballistic impact or other damage, just that specific component can be replaced — making repairs efficient and cost-effective.
Every Gardstrike installation includes a 10-year product warranty covering manufacturing defects and material integrity. As a certified Ceramic Pro Elite Dealer, we also provide ongoing support and documentation for insurance or fleet records throughout the life of your system.
Typically no. You should inform your insurance provider that your vehicle has been upgraded with certified ballistic protection — in some cases this may reduce premiums. We can provide documentation for your insurer if needed.
Gardstrike protection levels depend on the selected package and installation specification. Ballistic ratings reflect tested materials under defined NIJ and UL752 conditions and do not guarantee protection in every real-world scenario. Final coverage, materials, and specifications are confirmed in writing during consultation.
