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 modular ballistic protection program designed to integrate into passenger vehicles with minimal visual or structural change. It uses engineered composite panels and reinforced laminated glazing to increase resistance to forced entry and ballistic threats — all while maintaining the factory appearance.
The system comes in tiered packages matched to different risk profiles, from discreet handgun-rated reinforcement to robust, UL752-rated glazing and NIJ Level III composite panels. Exact protection depends on the package and installation specification, confirmed during your consultation.
A discreet, performance-first protection system that adds certified ballistic resistance without altering your vehicle's lines. Offered in packaged options with UL752 glass laminates and NIJ-level composite panels, each backed by a 10-year product warranty.
A cost-effective, lightweight solution designed for essential threat coverage — ideal for civilian use and discreet daily defense. Ballistic panels install behind OEM body panels with no visible modifications, maintaining your vehicle's factory appearance inside and out.
Our flagship system offers full NIJ Level III ballistic protection across doors, pillars, and body cavities — engineered for maximum safety without sacrificing comfort or drivability. UHMWPE composite panels are up to 80% lighter than steel, and UL752-certified glazing maintains optical clarity with zero visible modifications.
Gardstrike sits between cosmetic/security window film and full armoring — adding measurable ballistic resistance while staying lightweight and discreet. Unlike basic aftermarket film, it's packaged with tested materials, certified glazing, and a dealer installation network, all backed by product warranties.

Gardstrike packages use NIJ-rated composite panels and UL752-tested laminated glazing — materials tested in independent labs, not just marketing claims.
The system installs behind or within existing panels and glass assemblies, preserving the vehicle's original aesthetics and factory look inside and out.
From essential NIJ IIA/II reinforcement to NIJ Level III composite panels and ballistic glazing, packages are scoped clearly and installed by certified technicians.
Higher-level packages incorporate materials tested for multi-hit performance and UL-grade glass laminates to maintain structural integrity under repeated impact.
Engineered UHMWPE composites are up to 80% lighter than traditional steel armor, so protection doesn't compromise drivability, suspension, or fuel efficiency.
Every installation includes a 10-year product warranty. As a certified Elite Dealer, we provide documentation for insurance or fleet records.
Contact Ceramic Pro Fuel House to discuss your vehicle, security needs, and protection goals. We'll recommend the right Gardstrike package — Hybrid or Max — based on your requirements and vehicle type.
Gardstrike panels are precision-engineered for your specific make and model. We finalize your protection configuration, confirm NIJ coverage areas, and schedule your installation window.
Certified technicians install Gardstrike panels behind OEM body panels, doors, pillars, and body cavities with zero visible modifications, and apply UL752-certified ballistic glass. Installation is performed in-house at our Ceramic Pro parent facility in Overland Park, KS and takes 3–6 days depending on vehicle and package.
Every installation undergoes rigorous quality control. We verify panel placement, test all components, ensure proper fit and finish, and confirm factory appearance and full drivability before delivery.
Take delivery with complete documentation, warranty registration, and maintenance guidance. Your Gardstrike system includes a 10-year product warranty and ongoing Elite Dealer support.
Your vehicle looks factory-original, drives exactly as intended, and provides discreet, certified ballistic defense whenever and wherever 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.
