My local Advanced Auto used the mat kits, but the OP may just find it easier to just order online on Amazon or eBay.

The new mats came with velcro discs (exactly like BMW uses).

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have a '99 996 that's new to me
Replaced some used aftermarket Lloyds mats with OEM Porsche mats in Savannah.
The Lloyds mats had a belt-clip attachment that was unused. The new mats came with velcro discs (exactly like BMW uses). I'm familiar with this system, except for the life of me I can't find any holes in the carpet to screw them in.
Did every Porsche have the holes in the carpet from factory? I see no hole or any remnant of a factory mark from original mats. And I don't want to start punching random holes in the carpet.
Wondering if anyone else has encountered this?
Don't know about a 99 but my 2005 996 with original floor mats(I think) had the large velcro discs and no other securement. The Lloyds I replaced them with had plastic "straps" that fit over the front bolts that secure the seats to the floor pan. These straps snap into the new floor mats. No holes through the carpet.
corellian, Although I respect YOUR respect for the car, but screwing the Velcro floor mat disc in a self-made hole in the carpet is not going to hurt the value or the car. Unless you go crazy with an over sized drill bit. hahaha.
Seriously, avoid letting OCD control your Porsche ownership.
Peace!
Find the location and punch a hole w/ an awl. Then screw in the disc. Any rotary instrument (Drill bit) will likely twist up the pile. I found trying to start the disc without punching a hole ahead of time was not easy and the tip of the plastic screw bent over trying to punch thru.
Anyone have a PN for the discs? I have porsche mats in mine but no discs, had to remove the driver mat to stop it sliding under my pedals as a quick fix
Here's the part...

But you could just as easily buy generic ones at most auto parts shops for a fraction of the price.
As curator of the seamy side of the 996 forum, I feel it my obligation to point out that you gentlemen are all eagerly discussing how to rectify your lack of...holes, a situation where I think you may find Ms.Caitlin Jenner's guidance especially apt.
Which shops? just visited a large autozone on my lunchbreak and they had nothing like it in stock.
Online I could find BMW versions at a similar price to the porsche ones
Thanks. I have dozens of these discs since BMW uses the exact same system.
I think you misunderstood my post, so just for clarity - I'm not at all precious about this kind of stuff. However, I wasn't going to start poking holes in my carpet without asking a few questions; frequently these anchors have receivers on the back-side of the carpet, so before I did anything I wanted to ask other users if there was a specific procedure. Sounds like it's pretty straightforward.
