Frequently Asked Questions
Expert answers to common questions about ballistic protection, installation, and vehicle compatibility.
Gardstrike™ is a next-generation ballistic protection system designed to integrate discreetly into vehicles while meeting NIJ and UL752 ballistic standards. Each panel is built using military-grade UHMWPE fibers combined with advanced ceramic composites, precision-pressed and bonded through proprietary lamination technology. The system installs behind OEM panels, maintaining your vehicle's factory appearance while providing life-saving protection.
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) sets the official U.S. standards for body armor and ballistic protection. NIJ certification ensures products have been tested and verified under strict ballistic test procedures.
NIJ Level IIA/II: Protects against 9mm, .357 Magnum, and various common handgun calibers. Used in Gardstrike™ Max packages.
NIJ Level III: Protection against rifle rounds under 3000 fps (AR-15, AK-47, .308, etc.). Requires full body panel installation and Level III ballistic glass. Used in Gardstrike™ Full Body packages.

No. Gardstrike™ installs behind OEM panels, maintaining a factory look inside and out. The panels integrate within doors, pillars, and body cavities without altering body lines, interior dimensions, or vehicle aesthetics. Only Level III ballistic glass may appear slightly thicker than factory glass, but this is minimal and maintains optical clarity.
Yes. Both 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 selection. Elite Dealer's certified technicians carefully install each panel, apply ballistic glass treatments, conduct quality inspections, and ensure your vehicle maintains perfect fit and finish before delivery.
No. Gardstrike™ uses ultra-light NIJ-Level materials that are up to 80% lighter than traditional steel armor. The system is designed to maintain vehicle drivability, suspension integrity, and performance. Your vehicle will handle, brake, and accelerate just as it did from the factory, with no noticeable impact on fuel efficiency.
All Gardstrike components are modular and can be replaced individually without removing the entire system. If a panel sustains ballistic impact or damage, Elite Dealer can replace just that specific component, making repairs efficient and cost-effective.
Every Gardstrike installation includes a comprehensive 10-year product warranty covering manufacturing defects and material integrity. Elite Dealer also provides ongoing installation support and can assist with any service needs throughout the life of your system.
Vehicle owners typically do not need special insurance, though you should inform your insurance provider that your vehicle has been upgraded with ballistic protection—this may actually reduce premiums in some cases. Elite Dealer can provide documentation for your insurance company if needed.
