Does anybody know how and where to "Bullet Proof" a benz??

I'm seriously considering to do this conversion on my S-Class because of where I now report for work. I bought a huge warehouse in the middle of the Oakland Ghettos....It's no problems in the morning but when I go home at 8PM, it's pretty scary.

I've seen several ads on DuPont registry but I now can't find it.

Does anyone know?

you can get an armored S class directly from Mercedes, if you are willing to trade.

I did this to my 4Runner when I moved out of Newark, the trick is to remove the vehicle from the presence of guns that are pointed at you. [:D]

Good ideas fellas. I'm gonna call the dealer today to ask. I've been hesitatant to ask, as they may already think I'm a drug dealer or scam artist.

But I am really considering and needing this protection.

Mercedes Benz offers a line of armored cars, with different levels of protection.

Both the S (S-Guard) and G (G-Guard) can be ordered directly from MB.

cheers,
Bram
