Choose the car you desire for your project and we will gladly assist you in sourcing it. Most of our clientele prefer to custom order their base vehicle.  As Manhattan Armor is located in the automotive district and has forged relationships with our neighboring dealers we are able to help you in locating or special ordering your desired unit. In event you wish to supply your own car it will be subject to the same process described below. We strongly advise using as new a base model as possible.

Once your base vehicle is selected to be armored and the appropriate level of protection is chosen, we will discuss any additional special option requests you may have. As we have been customizing cars for over 40 years the range of ability is very deep and can be seen on our manhattancustom.com website. After the decisions regarding the armoring and options are selected we will finalize the project’s contract. After the funding we will begin the bullet resistant glass order process as this aspect has the longest lead time as well as other specially required components for your vehicle.

When your new car is delivered we suggest that you drive it at least 50 miles (even up to a 1,000 miles) and have your first service performed. This is to make certain that your new vehicle has no issues before we begin the armoring process. In the event there is a problem we need to have the dealer address them.

As your car arrives at our facility we will perform a multi point inspection of the exterior and interior. If there are any issues we will note them and immediately bring them to your attention. We will then take your car a test drive (WE ARE A NYS LICENSED AND INSURED MOTOR VEHICLE DEALER) in order for us to establish its handling and performance before the project begins. The car will then be fully wrapped in protective film enabling us to return your car on completion in the same condition we received it.

As we proceed with the armoring project a photo journal will be maintained and periodic emails with photos will be sent to you keeping you informed of the progress.

You are always invited to stop in and inspect your vehicle mid project.
