Designed and built by Will, an experienced mechanical engineer Product Description For '95 - '04 cars, this system is based on double “undercar receiver” type hitch receivers (1 1/4 in.). Each Receiver has a plate at the back extending to one side. The plate slides in behind the vertical face of the strong aluminum bracket which supports the “bumperette” (easily removed/remounted by a single screw). Two high-strength 3/8 in. “Allen” bolts secure each Receiver in holes drilled by the installer, using a template which is supplied. The body (bumper) is unaffected. A very small notch is cut into the rear edge of the bumperette. The bumperettes then remount, with the Receivers neatly and inconspicuously located on each side of the license plate. The bumperettes and Receivers remain in place. The Hitch and other accessories simply slide into the Receivers and are secured with pins and clips — very easily mounted or removed in less than a minute. The Receivers are readily removable, if desired. Nothing touches the car’s body. Nothing protrudes to skin one’s shins. A small platform hitch is also available. For '05 and later models, a small platform is mounted at the license plate. A trailer ball is bolted on for towing. A Hidden Receiver is available for all of these cars. NOTE: Willwood Heavy Duty Bumper Brackets are required for all '05 and later cars. A complete Bicycle Carrier is available, as well as a Tandem Carrier. The Bicycle Carrier Adapters/ Frame slide into Recievers in the same way as on earlier cars. The Willwood System is well-made, efficient, and aesthetically befitting a Porsche. This system is far superior to any other — handsome, rock-solid, and versatile. Extensive hand detail work gives each part an excellent finish quality. All parts receive a durable and oxidation resistant medium-gloss black polyurethane powder coat paint. Well over 500 of these systems have been sold, dating back to 1998; never a problem, not a complaint — everyone has been quite pleased, both with the product and the service. Installation/assembly is quite simple. High-quality hardware is included, as well as the drilling template, parts list, detailed instructions/diagram, and a list of tools required. Many customers do not consider themselves mechanically inclined. Yet, with just a few hand tools, and a bit of care and patience, nearly everyone has found the job easy enough — an hour or two. Maybe a friend could help. Feel free to call with any questions. Company Profile Will has been a mechanical engineer (BSME) for
