The Factory seems to be 50% tint Greyish Smoke colour on the rear and side windows

Front side windows seems to be 30% and the front windshield too

We had the Cayenne tinted with 30%. Our tint guy special ordered some film that is designed specifically to match the Porsche factory tint because none of the tint films he had on hand matched correctly. The Porsche tint has a slight green-ish tint to it and most the "common" films tinted quite match (close but not exact).
Here is a photo. Not the best angle to show the color match. But it does match perfectly.

Not sure on the brand, all I know is that he had to place a special order for it. I would suspect that any professional window tinting shop would be able to order some tint film that matches correctly. Cost? Free.. it turns out that when you have 10 vehicles tinted like I have they tint the 11th for free :-) Ive been a long-time customer and he decided to do me a favor on this one. I think I would ordinarly pay 60$ for the front 2 windows. 150-200 for a full vehicle depending on size (# of windows). Tint cost varies tremendously across the country. Ive had people tell me 60$ is an amazing deal, and others say anything more than 30$ and you are getting ripped off.

Lots of cayennes running around here.. none of which are customized at all. If a local tint shop is unable to match tint for you, let me know and I will try and get you the manufacturer/product# of the tint that was used on my Cayenne

I had mine tinted too, I think that it is pretty seemless in appearance.
Not sure brand and depth, but I am going to the dealer where I had it done today and I can ask them. They outsource all of their tinting requests so I will do some digging and find out for you.

Take a look at my link below on my signature area to see if you like the tint job.
