The quick answer
A browser tool for debadging and bulletproofing a FiveM car
Use the Debadger to remove selected badges, then add Glass for bulletproof windows or Full for glass, vehicle weapon-damage settings and tyre protection. You do not need a local Blender or ZModeler installation. Without an eligible subscription, the base totals are 5 credits for Glass or 7 for Full, including debadging.
This is a finishing option for a supported vehicle you already own. The current workflow requires at least one successful badge or painted-logo removal and supports one vehicle per armor build. If you want a ready-made armored SUV, police vehicle or VIP escort car, browse the FiveM bulletproof vehicles collection.

Bulletproof glass vs Full: what changes?
| Feature | Glass | Full |
|---|---|---|
| Supported window and glass changes | Included | Included |
| Vehicle weapon-damage settings | Unchanged by armor pass | Applied |
| Bulletproof tires / tyres | Unchanged by armor pass | Included, with client script |
| Standard and bulletproof ZIPs | Both included | Both included |
| Armor add-on | +3 credits | +5 credits |
| Total with 2-credit debadging | 5 credits | 7 credits |
Full already includes Glass. Choose one mode: the armor surcharge is 3 or 5 credits. The armor pass follows your selected optimization, sound and handling changes. It does not add visible steel plates or a new body kit.
“Bulletproof” describes these supported changes. It is not a promise of explosion immunity, passenger invulnerability, a fixed number of shots resisted or compatibility with every server script. Validate the vehicle in-game with your server's weapons and damage resources.
From original archive to armored export
How to use the FiveM bulletproof car tool
- 01 / UPLOAD
Sign in and bring the original
Open the Debadger editor. Upload a supported FiveM ZIP or RAR, supported DLC archive, or
dlc.rpf, up to 500 MB. For Bulletproof, use one vehicle. Keep your original separately. - 02 / SELECT
Choose the badges to remove
Inspect the exterior, wheels and interior in 3D. Select at least one separate badge or supported painted logo for removal. Review detected candidates and undo unwanted selections.
- 03 / FINISH
Select Glass or Full
Open the finishing options after selecting your edits. Choose Glass for windows or Full for glass, weapon-damage settings and tyres. Optimization, engine sound and handling are optional.
- 04 / CONFIRM
Check the credit quote
Review options, vehicle count and total before confirming. Check your wallet balance. Build credits are charged after a successful verified result; time extensions are separate.
- 05 / DOWNLOAD
Save both versions
Download the standard ZIP and bulletproof ZIP before their temporary links expire after 2 hours. Standard includes your successful badge edits and other selected customizations before the new armor pass.
- 06 / TEST
Install one and check in-game
Install one version at a time. Test spawning, windows, occupant exposure, tyres, handling and audio. Keep the other ZIP for comparison or rollback.
Know the total before building
Bulletproof tool credits and pricing
Credits are your account's tool balance. Sign in, buy a pack through My Credits, then use that balance for your confirmed build. Pack prices appear at checkout. Analysis and the 3D preview do not consume build credits.
| Build | Calculation | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Debadge only | 2 | 2 credits |
| Debadge + Glass | 2 + 3 | 5 credits |
| Debadge + Full | 2 + 5 | 7 credits |
| Debadge + Glass + optimization | 2 + 3 + 1 | 6 credits |
| Debadge + Full + optimization | 2 + 5 + 1 | 8 credits |
| Debadge + Glass + optimization + sound and/or handling | 2 + 3 + 1 + 1 | 7 credits |
| Debadge + Full + optimization + sound and/or handling | 2 + 5 + 1 + 1 | 9 credits |
An engine sound alone, a handling preset alone, or both together adds one customization credit. If optimization does not achieve the required measured gain, its optimization credit is waived. The server quote and final receipt govern your actual charge.
Subscriptions and credit deductions
An eligible active subscription currently makes the confirmed Debadger build total 0 credits, including selected armor, optimization, sound and handling. Extra session time remains a separate credit purchase. If eligibility changes before execution, the build must be re-quoted instead of silently switching to a paid export.
Build credits are deducted after a successful, verified result. A failed armor pass is not charged as a successful build. Editing time already purchased and used is separate from the export charge.
Editing time, processing time and extensions
Editing includes 30 minutes from your viewer session. Processing has its own 30-minute allowance from execution; waiting in the queue does not consume processing time. Either clock can be extended by 15 minutes for 1 credit, up to 90 minutes per clock. Extensions require your confirmation.
Unused whole editing extensions are refunded when the build is admitted. Unused whole processing extensions are refunded on completion; failed or uncertain processing refunds processing extensions. Already-used editing extensions can remain charged even if the build later fails. For example, a 7-credit Full build plus one used editing extension costs 8 credits; an eligible subscriber using that extension pays 1 credit for the extra time.
Keep both. Run one.
Install the standard or bulletproof vehicle ZIP
The two downloads preserve the same vehicle identity. Do not run both versions together: duplicate spawn names and resource data can cause conflicts. Standard is the successful customized build before this armor pass; it does not strip armor already present in your source.
- Save both ZIPs locally. Back up any existing installed version.
- Stop the old vehicle resource and place your chosen version in your server's resources directory.
- Keep the complete resource: metadata, streamed files and manifest. With Full, retain the included tyre-protection client script and its manifest entry.
- Ensure the chosen resource using its actual folder name. Spawn a fresh vehicle. Follow our FiveM car installation guide for the full setup.
- Compare the same weapon, distance and window position. Check driver and passenger exposure, different glass panels, tyres, garage respawns, audio and driving.
Test with your ESX, QBCore, QBox, vMenu or standalone setup, especially if another resource changes vehicle damage or tyre behavior.
Understand the difference
Bulletproof windows, handling.meta and scripts
Model-level glass
Vehicle windows involve model and collision data. The Sollumz vehicle-window documentation describes window setup and bulletproof glass collision material. Changing one handling value cannot repair missing or unsupported glass geometry. Glass mode processes supported window structures without requiring a local model editor.
What handling.meta changes
In the current Full export, the armor pass sets the vehicle's weapon-damage multiplier to zero and applies its tyre-protection flag. It preserves other handling values from the customized build. It does not add weight, tune braking or promise explosion protection. An optional handling preset is a separate choice applied before armor.
What a bulletproof tyres script does
FiveM exposes SetVehicleTyresCanBurst for tyre behavior and separate entity damage-proof settings. Full includes its model-specific tyre script. Keep it running; a model flag alone is not a reason to discard it.
Balance your armored vehicle for roleplay
Choose Glass for window protection while leaving body and tyre settings unchanged by the armor pass. Choose Full when your server rules allow its broader protection. Test police chases, VIP escorts and combat with your own scripts before making the vehicle available to players.
When a model needs attention
Bulletproof vehicle troubleshooting
No badge selection or multiple cars
Select a real badge or painted-logo edit. Upload one vehicle for Bulletproof. Standard Debadger pack support does not make a multi-vehicle archive eligible for armor.
The car behaves differently
Check that you installed the bulletproof ZIP, retained the Full tyre script and stopped duplicate versions. Inspect damage and garage resources that may override settings. Test a fresh spawn.
For a failed export, follow the error's next step before retrying the same input. For installation issues, see FiveM car not spawning and fixing broken vehicle resources.
Verification note, September 24, 2026: our production pipeline generated Glass and Full exports for a supported test vehicle, preserved selected audio and unrelated handling values, and rejected an unsupported glass structure. These file and processing checks do not establish universal compatibility or replace in-game testing.

Before you build
FiveM bulletproof tool FAQ
How do I make a FiveM car bulletproof with FiveMRides?
Sign in to the Debadger, upload one original supported vehicle, select at least one badge or painted logo to remove, then choose Glass or Full in the finishing options. Review the quote, build, and download the standard and bulletproof ZIPs. Install one version at a time and test it on your FiveM server.
How many credits does the bulletproof car tool cost?
For one vehicle without an eligible subscription, Debadger + Glass costs 5 credits total: 2 for debadging and 3 for glass. Debadger + Full costs 7: 2 for debadging and 5 for full protection. Optimization adds 1; an engine sound, a handling preset, or both adds 1 more. Full with all these options is 9 credits. Time extensions are separate.
Are Glass and Full charged together?
No. Choose one armor mode. Full includes glass, vehicle weapon-damage settings and bulletproof tyre protection. Its 5-credit add-on replaces the 3-credit Glass add-on; they are not added together.
Can I add bulletproof windows without Blender or ZModeler?
Yes, on supported models through the browser Debadger. You select a real badge edit and an armor option; processing runs on our servers. You do not need to install Blender or ZModeler on your computer. A successful file export still needs an in-game check.
Can I use Bulletproof without removing a badge?
Not in the current workflow. Bulletproof is a Debadger finishing option and requires at least one successful badge or painted-logo removal. An unchanged upload cannot be exported as an armor-only job. For a car that needs no badge editing, browse finished bulletproof vehicles or use a model-editing workflow.
Does it work with every FiveM vehicle or car pack?
No. Bulletproof currently accepts one supported vehicle per build. A readable resource and a supported window structure are required. Missing glass, unsupported model data, encrypted assets or malformed files can prevent processing. Upload the intact original; a previously processed armored archive may be rejected.
Does Full make the vehicle explosion-proof or invincible?
Full applies supported bulletproof glass, vehicle weapon-damage settings and tyre protection. It does not promise explosion immunity, passenger invulnerability or an indestructible vehicle. Server scripts, weapons, open windows and the source model affect behavior. Test the result with your own gameplay settings.
Are bulletproof tires included?
The Full option includes tyre protection and a model-specific client script in the resource. Keep that script and its manifest entry when installing. Glass leaves tyre settings unchanged. Check that garage, damage and repair scripts do not override the result.
Do active subscribers pay credits for Bulletproof?
An eligible active subscription currently sets the confirmed Debadger build total to 0 credits, including selected optimization, sound, handling and armor options. This does not include unlimited session time: extra editing or processing time is separately charged when you explicitly confirm an extension.
When are credits deducted, and what if a build fails?
Review the server quote before confirming. Build credits are deducted after a successful, verified result. A failed Bulletproof build is not charged as a successful export. A time extension is a separate purchase: editing time already used can remain charged even if the later build fails.
How long do I have, and do extensions cost credits?
Editing includes 30 minutes from the viewer session. Processing has a separate 30-minute allowance from execution; time waiting in the queue does not count toward processing. Each clock can be extended in 15-minute blocks for 1 credit, up to 90 minutes, only with your confirmation. Unused whole editing extensions are refunded when the build is admitted; unused whole processing extensions are refunded on completion. Failed or uncertain processing refunds processing extensions.
Why do I receive two vehicle ZIP files?
The standard ZIP contains your successful debadge and other selected customizations before the new armor pass. The bulletproof ZIP adds your chosen Glass or Full option to that build. They use the same vehicle identifiers: install one at a time. Standard does not remove armor that was already present in the uploaded source. Save both files before the temporary download links expire after 2 hours.
Can I use the export on ESX, QBCore, QBox or vMenu?
The export is a FiveM vehicle resource, not a framework-specific garage script. Install and test it with your server configuration. Garage integrations, vehicle damage scripts and custom weapon behavior can affect the final experience; compatibility with every combination is not guaranteed.
Is analysis free, and where do I buy credits?
An account is required. Upload analysis and the 3D preview do not consume build credits. Buy a credit pack through the My Credits area of your account and use the credited wallet balance for the confirmed build. Credit-pack prices are shown at checkout; a credit is not a fixed dollar price in this guide.
