Stock is 78%, all except front windshield. You have to look pretty closely from inside to see the difference, and it's a minor one at that. From the outside, it looks pretty damn clear.
 
78% ---> 35% tinting:

Pros:
Looks cool.
Outside lights (except from the front) won't be as obnoxious?
Keeps away sunlight (good for summer).
Diminishes glare effects from sides and back?

Cons:
Reduces visibility slightly.
Keeps away sunlight (bad for winter).
 
I'd say a junkyard to find a scrap of interior from another G, but I've yet to see a G in a junkyard. That'd be the best way to get a matching fabric to wrap the V1.

I think multiple tint levels looks a bit weird.

I think the tinting will cost about $200. Not sure. I want to find a decent place near me, preferably in NH.

I spent $200

My dad has a guy he takes his cars to for over a decade. He's sold a couple of tint shops but my dad keeps tracking him down.

Great job and fast. He always has some fancy car in his shop.

I agree on playing with plants, but building stuff is pretty awesome.

There's a patio behind my house, well, two of them, linked by a retaining wall and limestone stairs, plus the two mega retaining walls for the garage. Everything was done by us... My father, who was the only one with the skills to build the wall, and strength to lift the blocks; my mother, who largely helped him arrange the patio blocks; me, digging and carrying patio blocks; and my sister, picking out the patio blocks and pegging the walls. Four of us, and it took the entire summer, or maybe two summers. I don't even know when/how my parents worked their normal jobs during that. (I was 9 or 10 at the time.)

The patio itself (twice the size of yours) was a matter of a few weeks, I'd guess mostly on weekends. It's not easy, and this one was made better by having two children to fetch blocks and bring them over, rather than standing up and crouching down over and over again. Tools... chalk line, level, tamper, wet saw, mallet, pry bar, trowel, spade, shovel, wheelbarrow. Not all that much actually.

Keep in mind you only saw half of my patio. 😀 Took them about 2 weeks to finish everything (there are 4 additional flower beds not shown as well). Honestly, they could've finished the hardscape in 2 or 3 days but didn't send a complete team early in the project. Pissed my wife off.
