I understand that majority of armor worn by a character does not stack, save for form-fitting armor, but concerning the vehicle modifications in Arsenal, does Armor (Arsenal, page 132-133) stack with Personal Armor (Arsenal, page 148)?

Damage and Passenger
Attacks must specifically target either the passengers (in which case, the vehicle is unaffected) or the vehicle itself (in which case, the passengers are not affected). The exceptions to this rule are ramming, full-automatic bursts and area-effect weapon attacks like grenades and rockets—these attacks affect both passengers and vehicles.
If an attack is made against passengers, make a normal Attack Test, but the passengers are always considered to be under Good Cover (though the Blind Fire modifier may apply to the attacker as the situation dictates.) Passengers attempting to defend an attack inside a vehicle suffer a –2 dice pool modifier to their dodge, since they are somewhat limited in movement. Additionally, the passengers gain protection from the vehicle’s chassis, adding the Armor of the vehicle to any personal armor the characters are wearing. Called shots may be used to circumvent one armor or the other but not both.
In the case of ramming, full-auto and area-effect attacks, both passengers and vehicles resist the damage equally.

Thanks, but I was asking about the two mentioned types of vehicular armor in Arsenal.

My bad. I'd say that they do stack, as long as they shooter's aiming at the passenger in the car. If the shooter's just aiming at the car, Personal Armor would not be used at all.
