Generally, I am impressed with the engineering thoroughness done by Porsche. The design of the factory front bumper plate holder, however, is a complete failure in my opinion. I bought my 2003 C2 from a previous owner in California where it had no front license plate. When I brought it back to Colorado, I needed to put a front plate on in order not to be harassed for not having one. I bought and installed the OE Porsche front plate mount (using larger screws to better secure it). What a disaster! A simple nudge on it while opening the frunk would cause it to fall off. I have struggled with this for the last 8 years, even trying JB Weld to keep it from falling off.
I looked at getting one of the tow hook systems, but I don't like the off-center look that results. I just installed the Skene Design "no holes" front bracket. Simple, and all seems well now. (https://skenebrackets.com)
