Kansas film tint laws
Kansas requires at least 35% total light transmission when a sun screening device is used, and all film on the side and rear windows must be nonreflective. Windshield film is allowed only along the top, not below the marked AS1 line, and may not be red, yellow or amber. The only medical provision is for clear, colorless UV-blocking film with at least 78% visible light transmittance, backed by a physician's or optometrist's statement.
General information, not legal advice. Laws change and enforcement varies; confirm current requirements with the state.
SalesThumb's quote-time VLT check compares proposed shades to the basic KS per-window limits; if the quote becomes an invoice, the customer acknowledges a tint waiver before paying. The check does not model medical, vehicle-class, or paired-window exceptions, so confirm those by hand.

Where are the tint, PPF, and ceramic shops in Kansas?+
They are concentrated in Wichita, Overland Park, Kansas City, and other major metros. Johnson County (Overland Park / Olathe / Leawood) is the KC metro's luxury core — premium PPF + ceramic tickets cluster there. Hot summers + cold winters drive year-round demand. Wichita has a steady tint market driven by Spirit AeroSystems + Cessna corporate footprints.
Does SalesThumb support Kansas state VLT compliance?+
Partly. SalesThumb's quote-time VLT check compares proposed shades to the basic Kansas limits for sedans and SUVs/trucks. It does not model medical, vehicle-class, or paired-window exceptions (for example Colorado's darker rear glass with 70% fronts, Illinois' 50/30 pairing, or multipurpose-vehicle exemptions), so confirm those by hand. If the quote becomes an invoice, the customer acknowledges a tint waiver before paying. An embeddable tint-laws widget for your own website shows Kansas legal limits to customers before they pick.
Can Kansas shops use SalesThumb's mobile app?+
Yes — the Expo-built iOS + Android app is live on the App Store and Google Play, and works anywhere with cell/WiFi, including Kansas. Customer-side login is name + phone + 6-digit SMS code (passwordless); staff-side is email + password with role-based tabs (NONE / INSTALLER / SALES / BOTH per employee). VIN scanner, photo capture, and push notifications are all built in.
Does it integrate with QuickBooks for Kansas shop accounting?+
Yes, on the Growth plan and up — per-shop QuickBooks Online OAuth. Paid invoices push one-way to QuickBooks and the matching customer is created automatically. Kansas shops on QBO connect once, then push paid invoices with a click. (Two-way sync is on the roadmap.)
