The Porsche dealer is usually best for these small parts, often the price is competitive when you count in the shipping from other suppliers. Your experience may differ.

I could use one... buy four, and I'll buy from you the extra one... paying shipping, too.

My dealer is 35 miles away... down the hill... I don't go down there often. And I won't be going downfor a $1 part.

Those plugs are used on countless cars. Bet that any autoparts store has them in their "Help" isle. You can also use plastic rivets.

I remember seeing a smaller kit at Harbor Freight, but here is the online option https://www.harborfreight.com/automotive/auto-body-trim/automotive-plastic-fastener-kit-240-pc-57671.html - not sure if any of these fit

Just wanted to let you know that I picked up from NAPA a bag of 5? 6? Ran $8.50.

The ones I grabbed aren't black, and have a better "handle" on the little push pin... makes for easier removal.

Thanks for thinking of me!

You made out better than I. I bought a bag of 5 out the door for $8.50. They're about the same size... feel a little more solid... and are a tan/lt.brown... I can't tell, I'm color blind. If you're really interested let me know. Right now, at 330ishAM I don't feel like getting off my ass and checking the part number on the bag I can see on the counter 10 feet away. Let me know.
