The skid plate is held on by three screws, one at the front (toward front of car) and one on each side. There is a hole at the back of the plate but no screw is used there. On mine, somebody over-tightened the front screw and stripped it. I have the plate off until I can get around to heli-coiling it as the screw did not seat right and made noise.

Eric (iirc) and others; if you haven't seen it yet, Porsche has their parts catalog on their site for our cars in downloadable PDF form. It helps a ton for parts diagrams as well as numbers for all of the oddball parts, etc.

They also offer a different one for ROW depending on how you set your region on their website.

Hope this helps.

So, I guess I'm missing two of them -- !@#$ing idiots.

I once had a mechanic leave a screw driver and some screws on top of an engine before he shut the hood. Somehow the screw driver stayed put. Unfortunately, I discovered the screws lodged in the sheetmetal, leaving pimples (or cysts?) all over the hood. I was away at college when it happened and the guy at the garage claimed it wasn't his fault.

Thanks!!! I've never seen that before!!! Very useful.
