ARMORING VEHICLE PROCEDURE

The purpose of armoring a vehicle is to protect the passengers,

not necessarily the entire vehicle itself.

Towards that end, STAR MOTOR ARMORING TECHNOLOGIES INC. provides different security packages that can help negate any threat an individual may face.

We offer several packages ranging from
handgun protection up to high powered rifle protection.

We use ballistic rebated offset glass that match the OEM glass of the vehicle.

Lightweight armoring kits are installed,

thus providing maximum protection coverage

depending on our client’s needs.
