Pick a fit style based on your budget. The fit style is what determines how snugly the car mats will fit in your vehicle. Most people opt for standard fit car mats, which are typically all made in one size, and will fit most makes and models of vehicles. These are inexpensive, and they will usually come in a set of 2 front mats and 2 back mats, but they typically won't provide a snug fit for your car. If you're a bit more particular about what goes into your car, there are more advanced options to pick from:

Improved fit mats generally are a bit more secure than standard mats, as well as a little more durable.
Vehicle-specific car mats are more expensive than standard mats. They're designed for a specific make and model, so choosing the one made for your vehicle will ensure you get a secure fit. You can usually find these mats at car dealerships and some automotive stores.
Fully customized car mats are the most expensive. You'll need to find a business that specializes in making them since they aren't commercially available. You will need to provide your car's specific measurements when placing an order.

Its my dad's car so I don't have any pictures right now but take it to Honda guys and they will fix it for you.

Hence I avoided it but yes the foot mats does move a little bit. As a compromise I have agreed to live with the current set up. Let me know in case you need more photos for the same or can DM me.

I think you should check with the accessories section of the dealer for those clips.

Overall I feel that when I was provided with the mats, this so called fastener/nut/clip/screw should have been provided !

After reading your post, I removed the mats and checked the car floor closely. Although not noticeable by eye, I did feel some cuts and on pressing them slightly they revealed some points (the cuts in the pictures were revealed only when pressed). Thanks for the post mate ! I am not opening them up fully as I have my second service coming up in 19 days by which this lockdown might also ease down. Will check with the service center then.I guess I missed this issue. Is it a well known matter or discussed on other threads/posts ? Kindly do share more.Drilling into the floor pan or fastening screw ? Do share the pictures here on this thread so that others too will benefit from the same. Thanks.Yes, I will check with them when I take my car in for the next service. The bottom one is indeed wedged into a perfect fit and it is the top one that needs to be anchored. Do share pictures of yours if possible, Thanks.Overall I feel that when I was provided with the mats, this so called fastener/nut/clip/screw should have been provided !
