The Winding Road daylight pic is what makes me question their veracity.

It seems pretty obvious that the photographer took a pic of a 987 with a Tequipment Sport Design bodykit and since it looked "different" assumed that it was an 08 face-lift.

The daylight pic just looks like someone modded a base boxster with the bodykit, a set of tail-lights off of e-bay and added an "S" tail pipe.

A face-lift also implies engine changes, which they just did in '07, so the timing seems a little off.
