I've used the bird bike rack for a few seasons now. It actually works real well (meaning its pretty easy to use and so far I haven't damaged to the car/paint or bike). The system works by mounting pipes to the chassis of the car. Then the rack is inserted in the pipes and attached with straps when you want to use it. I would describe it as a "custom" bike rack that is nicely designed specifically for the Boxster.

Here is a link to a thread. I posted some pictures.

I bought mine used from e-bay. I forget what I paid, but maybe $250? Well worth it.
