Any auto parts store should have them. The kit is basically a reamer, the plug tool and plugs. Also buy a pair of diagonal pliers to pull out the nail and trim the plug.

Here's a complete tire repair kit from Griot's Garage:

Costs a little more than a kit you can pick up at your local parts store, but it does have everything you'll need.

I'll continue to say Porsche should offer a spare tire as an option for those who want it. I understand some prefer the plug kit. I'm having a hellva time finding spare tire on ebay.
