Vehicle Protection

1. What level of protection do I need to protect my family? For our esteemed clientele protecting family vehicles, our ultralight armor ranges from NIJ Level II to NIJ Level IIIA and NIJ Level III. NIJ Level IV, which involves very heavy ballistic steel, is not recommended for family use, as it significantly increases vehicle weight, potentially affecting performance and handling under typical driving conditions.

2. Will the protection process affect the appearance of my vehicle? No, our sophisticated protection process ensures your vehicle maintains its original, elegant appearance. Our enhancements are meticulously integrated, providing robust ballistic protection while preserving the vehicle’s aesthetic integrity.

3. Do I need to provide the vehicle? You can either deliver your vehicle to us, or we can assist in sourcing the perfect model for your needs. Our extensive network of manufacturers allows us to find the ideal vehicle to suit your specifications and requirements.

4. Will the protection process affect the performance of my vehicle? Adding protection inherently adds weight, which can impact performance aspects such as acceleration, fuel efficiency, and handling. However, Dream Shield’s innovative technology minimizes this weight addition, ensuring that performance remains as close to the original as possible, often outperforming industry standards.

5. Can any vehicle be fitted with Dream Shield ultra-lightweight protection? Yes, though we recommend starting with a robust, heavy-duty vehicle to maximize protection and cost-efficiency. SUVs and high-powered sedans are particularly well-suited for fitting with protection due to their structural strength and capacity for modification.

6. Do you only fit vehicles with protection in a specific location? No, we offer our services nationwide through our luxurious boutique locations, providing comprehensive after-sales support and service. Our facilities are strategically located across the USA to ensure accessibility and convenience for our clients. After-sales support and service are exclusively for our protection clients and, in some cases, friends and family of our esteemed clients. Even though our core is trendsetting auto styling and innovations, the purpose of our locations is to provide seamless after-sales support. In the event of a road rage incident, any damage can be meticulously repaired in our boutique locations.
