The Boxster's that I have seen with Aero latches have custom mounts for the pins welded inside the corners of the front trunk. The mount creates a diagonal from the side to the front of the trunk so the pin is properly located under the hood.

Maybe there are other ways to do this, but this is how I've seen it done.

When I saw this, I realized that it wasn't something that I could DIY. I plan to have my shop do the work for me.
