First post in the Cayenne forum! Avid reader of the 996 and 987 forums and occasional poster. Just added a 955 to "the fleet" (as my family refers to it) and enjoying it! Totally different than the 2dr cars and a nice complement. And within 20% of cost parity with the minivan we're replacing it with so what could be better than that??

2005 Cayenne S, Carmon Red exterior, Sand Beige interior. Obligatory picture attached. Looking for all weather floor mats that are a reasonable match for the carpet (definitely don't want black). Wandered the internet and the forums too long looking for possibilities but not coming up with much. Took a risk and ordered the 3D Maxpider tan mats from amazon and was totally disappointed with the fit (didn't fit the front twist lock anchors) and the color (tan toward gray rather than beige). Do any of you have all weather mats in your car with sand beige interior that you would recommend?

Yes.

Mine came with Weathertech front mats that the PO had. They don't lock in place, but the fit is great and they don't move around. There's a place where you can cut out the hole for the lock, but I'd rather keep them intact. They hold a fair amount of water, and despite knocking off as much snow as possible when getting in, I still end up with a lot on the floor. Not cutting the holes to lock them down means the water doesn't go anywhere.

The color isn't perfect, but it's pretty close.

Go with the black OEM rubber mats. Nothing worse, than scuffed-up and permanently stained tan carpeting and mats. All the newer Porsche has contrasting black now...

Is that a Bugeye Sprite in the garage?

Yes sir! 1959, 948cc, upgraded with ribcase transmission and front disc brakes.

Nice fleet! I like the color of your Cayenne.

I would say try looking at some online pics of OEM (black) rubber mats. They give a nice contrast and reasonably priced as well.
Unfortunately, I don't think there are anything but black OEM rubber mats.

How much snow/rain do you get in your area? For all around comfort year around, you can't beat carpeted mats. They don't become slippery or squiggly when they're wet, and much better on your feet on long journeys as well.
If carpeted mats become dirty or stained, you can always wash them or just buy a new set.

Our interior is black with Silver trim so we got original Coco Mats in black with grey.

My wife's 997 is black with tan interior but has black painted console. Will probably do black with natural.

I think the Jalisco or black with natural might look good in your 955.

Thanks a lot for the inputs! We’ve got black OEM rubber mats in our other cars (Boxster, Audi A4) and like them a lot. I live in San Jose, CA and get zero snow but plenty of rain and they work great. I think the crux is that I’m not sure I want the huge contrast of the black mats against the very light interior, so I do think i want lighter mats than black. I wish I could get sand beige OEM mats (too bad!). Good point from the other post about scuffed mats looking bad. When that happens I’ll think back on this thread.


The interior of your car is stunning! The light and dark contrast is beautiful and the Coco Mats are perfect for it. Our interior is all sand beige light carpet and slightly darker dash + steering wheel, but still definitely “light brown.” I think even the coco mats might look out of place but you’ve got me thinking hard.

For now I’m going with the light mats and I’ll set a reminder 1yr from now to report back!

I like the cocomats too.
