Before you tint your windows, you need to know the law. Kansas and Missouri have different tinting regulations, and driving with illegal tint can get you a ticket. Here's the complete 2026 guide from American Fusion Wheels.
Kansas Window Tint Laws
| Window | Minimum VLT |
|---|---|
| Windshield | Top AS-1 line only (non-reflective) |
| Front Side | 35% VLT |
| Rear Side | Any darkness |
| Rear Window | Any darkness |
Missouri Window Tint Laws
| Window | Minimum VLT |
|---|---|
| Windshield | Top 5 inches or AS-1 line (non-reflective) |
| Front Side | 35% VLT |
| Rear Side | Any darkness |
| Rear Window | Any darkness |
What Does VLT Mean?
VLT (Visible Light Transmission) is the percentage of light that passes through the film. Lower VLT = darker tint. 35% VLT means 35% of light gets through — this is the darkest you can go on front windows in both KS and MO.
Why Choose Ceramic Tint?
Ceramic window tint is the premium option because it:
- Blocks up to 99% of UV rays
- Reduces interior heat by up to 60%
- Won't interfere with phone, GPS, or radio signals
- Doesn't fade or turn purple over time
- Looks great at any shade
