Rhode Island market context
Newport's yacht-and-classic-car scene drives high-ticket PPF + ceramic + concours-grade detail work. Providence carries a steady consumer aftermarket. Salt-air coastal climate drives PPF demand.
Rhode Island film tint laws
Rhode Island allows 70% VLT on front side, 70% on rear sides + back glass. Windshield: top 3 inches AS-1 line. Medical exemption available.
SalesThumb's state VLT compliance check uses these RI thresholds at quote time. Out-of-spec selections trigger an auto-attached customer waiver to the invoice.
