The Boxster and Boxster S models received a facelift in 2008. A facelift of the Porsche Cayman followed in February 2009. Cosmetic changes included new head and tail lights, larger front air intakes with incorporated day time running lights, and an altered lower rear end flanked by twin diffusers.

The vehicle was fitted with either the Porsche CDR30 radio or the PCM3.x system. Both radio's had the option from factory of the standard audio package or the Bose audio package.
