Rhode Island market

Strictest state — 70% all around.

Rhode Island's law is one of the strictest in the country: 70% VLT on all four sides. The uniform ceiling forces ceramic as the de-facto standard — at 70% the differentiation between film rolls is heat rejection, UV performance, and color stability, all of which ceramic delivers. Providence anchors most of the consumer market; Newport adds a small but steady premium-vehicle niche.
