Default Little help IDing whats 'wrong' with this 986S?

Hiya Boxster types, just a quick question:

Following some of the rather impressive Boxsters I poked around at Hershey, I took it upon myself to do some research on the cars, etc, etc.

I came across this one on Ebay and was stunned with its appearance, although it looks to me like the owner put a 996 front end on it? Can anyone clarify whats on the front of this car and what other changes the owner might have made that arent correct for an 03 S (aside from wheels, obviously)? Thanks.

Yep, 911 GT3 nose and aerokit sideskirts. New wheels. Can't see anything else from these pics anyway. Sweet looking car!

Additionally, that car does not have the stock ride height. It has aftermarket springs or coilovers on.....

I know that car well and have seen it several times. I've met the previous owner and it's currently at a Jag dealer right by my house. I find myself stopping by to drool over the GT3's every so often. Anyway...he took very good care of it and put lots of extra's on. Factory aerokit, SSR GT3 wheels, suspension, sound system, silver crest and lits I think. The car is stunning in person. He traded for a red C4S not too long ago.
