SAN ANTONIO, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/10/08 -- Texas Armoring Corporation, aleading worldwide supplier of armored vehicles and bulletproof cars, announced todaya new product line of armored vehicles specifically manufactured to protectoccupants traveling in the Niger Delta region. The newly offered "NigeriaPackage" will be available starting Monday, July 14, 2008 on select models.According to Trent Kimball, President & CEO of Texas Armoring Corporation,the Nigeria Package will "offer superior bulletproof protection againstAK-47 & M-16 threats" and will also include some James Bond typeaccessories such as electric shocking door handles, a smoke screen system,a road tack dispensing system, flashing strobe lights, a hiddensiren/loudspeaker system, and a secure dead bolt door locking system.Kimball says that the "violence in Nigeria is deplorable [and that] TexasArmoring Corporation is ready to build custom bullet-resistant vehicles toprotect businessmen, dignitaries, and other distinguished individualsthroughout West Africa."

The Nigerian Package will include European Level B6+ armoring (boastingnearly two-inch-thick bulletproof glass) and will be available for aspecial price on the following models:

--  2008 Toyota Landcruiser--  2008 Lexus LX570--  2008 Mercedes-Benz G-Class--  2008 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class--  2008 Mercedes-Benz S-Class--  2008 Land Rover Range Rover--  2008 HUMMER H2 & H3    

With the recent increase in violence, kidnappings-for-ransom, and militantattacks on businesses, the need for civilian armored vehicles has neverbeen greater in Nigeria. According to Kimball, "with the widening gapbetween the rich and poor throughout Africa, the level of violence hasincreased dramatically. Anyone with a moderate level of financialstability in Nigeria is potentially at risk for an attack. We'vebulletproofed vehicles for numerous presidents and politicians in the past,but recently we've found that even general businesspeople are in need ofarmored protection. Our goal is to provide our clients with superiorprotection, while helping them maintain a low profile. It follows thateach of our vehicles maintains the original factory finish as closely aspossible, and that we only use extremely high-end materials in each vehiclewe produce. Our focus is on hand-crafted quality, and you don't become themarket leader by cutting corners."

Kimball went on to say that TexasArmoring has made efforts to reach out to large multinationalcorporations in Nigeria with good results, but that there is still a greatneed for protection in the corporate community in Nigeria and that TexasArmoring is prepared to meet demand.
