Bring Your Own Car (BYOC) for Armoring: A Revolution in Personal Security

Imagine this: Your car, the one you’ve driven for years, the one that knows every curve of your daily commute, now transformed into a fortress on wheels. Here at Armormax, we can upgrade your existing vehicle. The one you have right now and driving on a daily basis.

Why BYOC?

At Armormax, we believe in giving you the power of choice. Not everyone’s security needs are the same, and not every vehicle is suited for every type of armor. With our Bring Your Own Car (BYOC) initiative, you get to decide which beloved ride gets the protective upgrade. Whether it’s your trusty SUV or a sleek sedan, we’ve got you covered – quite literally.

Levels of Protection

At Armormax, we understand that not all threats are created equal, and neither should your car’s armor be. From the everyday peace of mind provided by B4 armor, which defends against handgun threats up to .44 magnum, to the heavy-duty B7 level that can withstand high-caliber rifle fire, we tailor the armor to your threat level. Our armoring isn’t just about adding weight; it’s about adding smart, effective protection.

We offer a spectrum of protection levels to match the various scenarios you might face:
B4 Level Armoring: This level of armor is all about everyday security. It’s designed to provide peace of mind against common handgun threats, including up to .44 magnum rounds. Ideal for those who want an added protection of safety in urban environments or for general personal protection, B4 armor ensures you can go about your daily life with less worry. It’s the invisible shield that keeps your routine undisturbed but secure.

B5 Level Armoring: Stepping up, B5 offers protection against more potent threats, including armor-piercing handgun rounds. This level is for those who require a bit more assurance in potentially volatile situations, without the need for the bulk of higher armor grades. It’s a balanced choice for executives, diplomats, or anyone who might occasionally find themselves in less predictable environments.

B6 Level Armoring: When the stakes are higher, B6 armor steps in. This level defends against high-powered rifle fire, like 7.62mm rounds, providing a robust shield for those facing significant security risks. Whether you’re traveling through regions with political instability or just want the ultimate peace of mind, B6 armor transforms your vehicle into a mobile safe room.

B7 Level Armoring: At the pinnacle of our protective offerings, B7 armor can withstand attacks from even more formidable threats, including armor-piercing rifle rounds. This level of armoring is the choice for those who need the highest degree of security, often used by government officials, high-profile individuals, or in areas of extreme conflict. It’s about having an impenetrable fortress on wheels.

Our armoring process isn’t just about adding weight and armor paneling to your vehicle; it’s about adding smart, effective protection. Each level of armor is carefully applied, using materials and techniques that preserve the vehicle’s performance and driving dynamics. Our proprietary Lightweight Transparent Armor (LTA®) technology is at the heart of this philosophy, ensuring that even with the highest protection levels, your car remains agile, efficient, and, most importantly, yours in essence.

We tailor the armor to your specific threat level, ensuring that you’re not overpaying for protection you don’t need or, conversely, leaving yourself vulnerable. It’s about finding that perfect balance where security enhances your life, not restricts it. Whether you’re looking for subtle defense or fortress-like security, Armormax has the expertise to customize your vehicle’s armor to fit your world.

The Armormax Difference

What sets us apart is our proprietary Lightweight Transparent Armor (LTA®). It’s the lightest armoring solution you’ll find, ensuring your car doesn’t turn into a sluggish tank. Performance, my friends, is key. Even with armor, your car should drive like the one you know and love.

A common question we get is, “Can civilians drive armored cars?” The answer is a resounding yes. Armormax ensures that all our armoring solutions comply with legal standards, making armored vehicles accessible to anyone who wants that extra layer of security for themselves and their family, not just the high-profile or the ultra-wealthy.

Maintenance Matters

Your armored car needs care to perform at its best. We guide you through maintaining your vehicle post-armoring, from cleaning bulletproof glass to checking the integrity of armored panels. It’s about longevity and reliability.

Choosing Your Ride

Not every car is born to be armored, but many can be. We advise on selecting vehicles that are naturally better suited for armoring due to their structure, performance, and how much they can handle in terms of added weight without compromising safety or driveability.

The Manufacturing Process

Choosing Armormax isn’t just about adding various components to your car; it’s about getting peace of mind for you and your family. It is about having confidence as your travel from home to work, or wherever your drive takes you. We understand that behind every vehicle is a human story – your family trips, your daily commutes, your moments of freedom on the road. That’s why we bring a deeply personal touch to our service.


From the moment you contact us, you’re not just another client; you become part of the Armormax family.

In an era where technology often overshadows personal interaction, we believe in the irreplaceable value of human touch. Your concerns, your needs, your vision for your vehicle’s security – these are all handled with the care and attention they deserve. We’re not just about selling armor; we’re about building trust, ensuring your peace of mind, and enhancing your life’s journey with every mile you drive.
