Great idea and really cool execution!

You are one ambitious guy cutting and fabricating outside in the cold like that. I despise the cold and it has to be desperation for me to work outside in it. Looks great too. Nice job.

Thanks! I was really really hoping I'd be able to use the OEM floor cover, but I had to add one more layer in the stack in order to make it "tall" enough. Sigh.

Haha, yeah, I didn't want to do it, but the weather was supposed to get even worse and I wanted to get that part done! :P

How about a few photos of the finished job in your cargo area. I'd like to see what you did for an access hatch to the spare tire.

Still waiting on carpet to arrive, supposed to be here on Monday. But I simply cut a single piece of 1/2" MDF to cover the spare tire, completely replacing the OEM cover (mine won't fold in half like OEM, couldn't see a reason to do that).
Re: 2017 Porsche Macan GTS - SQ install
Just thinking out loud here... what about building a "rim" around the outside edge of the trunk that the OEM cover would sit on or fit into? Sounds like it wouldn't need to be very tall, but might give you more of the stealth look?
Re: 2017 Porsche Macan GTS - SQ install
The OEM cover is recessed down 1/2" already, which makes it flush with the rest of the cargo area.
The carpet arrived yesterday, but it's a very bad color match, I'm sending it back. I ordered from Crutchfield, which doesn't have a lot of options, where else can I source carpet?
Re: 2017 Porsche Macan GTS - SQ install
I'd PM Skizer... I remember him mentioning a place in Florida that handled a lot of factory materials, unfortunately I can't find the thread :(
Re: 2017 Porsche Macan GTS - SQ install
It's a GTS. Make the cover Carmine red :)
