Default floor mat anchors

I've been reading threads after searching, and I believe that the answer is the parts I want come with front mats ordered from Porsche but I would like to see if there is some validation to what I've read from others here.

My passenger side has the 'posts' (for lack of a better word) with caps that anchor the 2-hole floormats on the passenger side. I obtained nice (Lloyd quality but not made by Lloyd) carpeted mats with thick rubber backing, crest-embroidered in center. I punched and melt-sealed a hole for the passenger-side posts so this mat-on-top-of-stock-mat won't slide forward.

My problem is on the driver's side, there are no posts or caps, just metal tabs sticking forward from the seat rails. There is nothing to which I can anchor the
driver's side stock mat or my black 'over-top-of-stock-mat'.

Is it possible to obtain these (admittedly somewhat cheesy) mat anchors without buying a set of mats from Porsche (assuming that they do in fact come with a set from a dealer) ?

Thanks in advance

Those "Mat-Loc" floor mat holding clips work pretty well for me.

the trick with mat lock is to anchor first then clip in.

Where do you attach the "post" in these clips?

looks to me like they get 'stuck' into the main carpeting...

I was able to utilize the single bolt that holds down the original carpeting. The dealer found a longer screw-down part from a boxster, if I recall. I drilled a hole in the mat large enough for the screw-down plug thing, so screw-down part goes through carpet and mat. Wowks great.
