Minnesota market context
Why Minnesota aftermarket shops grow on SalesThumb
Twin Cities metro has heavy corporate footprints (Target, 3M, Best Buy, UnitedHealth) driving fleet wrap + commercial graphics. Premium PPF + ceramic demand is strong in the western suburbs (Edina / Wayzata). Brutal winters drive paint protection.
Minnesota film tint laws
Minnesota allows 50% VLT on front side, 50% on rear sides + back glass for sedans. Multi-purpose vehicles can run any darkness on rear sides + back. Windshield: AS-1 line. Medical exemption available.
SalesThumb's state VLT compliance check uses these MN thresholds at quote time. Out-of-spec selections trigger an auto-attached customer waiver to the invoice.
