They're like 4 bucks a piece from the dealer guys, sheesh! The company that offered to make some billet ones over on LS1GTO.com decided not to as there was too little interest so they pulled the plug on em.
Has anybody tried to get them replaced under the factory warranty? It's supposed to be bumper-to-bumper right? They're between the bumpers. If this many people are having problems with them, maybe their defective? As anybody went this path yet?
I had two of them broken in the first month of ownership...flimsy pieces of sh#$!

I wash mine myself. But, when I was cleaning, one was loose on the floor. Because of you guys telling these stories, I took all four plugs and put 'em in the glove compartment. They're not being used...but I know where they are.

As a matter of fact I had 1 replaced under warranty 2 weeks ago. When removing the factory mats for aftermarket GTO logo mats, I discovered one of the ears was sheared off. I called up my service writer and informed him of this. He ordered me one, took 5 days. I went and picked it up and gave him the damaged one... No problems.... Also, I discovered a while back about 5 lug nut plastic covers were cracked from the service guys removing them. I told him I will wait until the warranty is just about up and have ALL I find damaged, replaced. I was told, when I am ready let them know, they will order me the amount I need.
You should have NO problems with this warrantied part.
I bought a set of black ones from the GT1 forum. Once received and installed you never have to worry about those crappy plastic ones again. Warranties do run out. I had broked 5 or 6 of them off and yes they will replace them at the dealer. Shame on Pontiac/Holden for that crappy plastic part.
For those that don't know, the Lloyds mats, GTO logo or GTO embroidered, come with a different type of fastener. It's like an S shaped hook, one side goes into the hole and the other side goes through a hole in the mat. For the price of the metal fasteners, I'd just get the four mat set and be done with it.
If you get the logo set, put two coats of Scotch Guard on so it stays looking pristine.
