    So, my otherwise perfect condition OEM floor mats are missing one grommet. I searched online, but could not find anything close. Does anyone know where to find/buy such things? I wouldn't mind replacing all four, just so they match. Thanks.

    The thread plugs are here: https://www.ricambiamerica.com/car-diagrams/ferrari/v6-v8/430-group/f430-05-08/passengers-compartment-carpets/66233300-threaded-plug.html

    The grommets are a two piece thingy:

    I can't check stock levels at the moment because we're doing a server migration (ugggg...) but normally we keep those things available.

    ^ Dale, this morning our ERP server up on its new hardware. Oh, will the excitement never end?!?

    We do have stock of all components (lower grommet, upper grommet, and threaded plug).

    Those are called Murphy's common sense fasteners. Pretty widely available if you know what to look for. They're different than what Daniel posted and for different cars. (Common sense fasteners were used in the 90's)

    Right. 430's use different retainers than the older cars. I happen to like the older hardware better ;)

    Amazon: Grommets, #4 Black Oxide, Plain, ½" Inch Hole, 12 Piece Set. Costs $8.27 and looks great. These grommets fit the thread plugs that were in my 360 Spider. I don't know about other models.

    Amazon: General Tools 71264 Grommet Kit with 12 Solid Brass Grommets, 1/2-Inch. Costs $8.36. This gives you the grommet tools to affix the black oxide grommets above, as well as a few bright brass grommets to practice with.

    In my case, the big problem was that the old grommets had been ripped out of the carpet, leaving a hole larger than the replacement grommets. So, I needed to create a new backing for the new grommets to attach to. I have navy carpets so bought navy leather repair. I put one layer on the bottom of the torn out grommet hole (adhesive facing up), then cut a small piece cut to fit in the torn out grommet hole (adhesive facing down, on top of the adhesive piece facing up from below). This created a two layer leather backing piece into which I could insert the grommets. The leather repair patch material that I used was the most expensive item in the repair, but looked good and really adhered well to the carpet.
    Amazon: MastaPlasta, Leather Repair Patch, Plain 8-inch by 11-inch, Navy. Cost $19.95.

    The end result of all this was a solid repair that looks OEM and will last (I think) the life of the carpet. Good luck!

    I just found a place that has grommets that work with the existing 612 pins on the floor. The company makes mats and will sell them with the mats. I'll have to ask if they are willing to sell them separately. From Ferrari they are like $25 each. From this shop, $0.50.
