    but did you know that the the skid panel was made longer to direct air past the engine and firewall and into the inside of the wheels to cool the brakes?

    and theres more! theres also some panels that run under the floor board to further smooth out the bottom of the car.

    and i know some of you dont like the window defuser but its a nice design also redirecting more air onto the wing for improved downforce at lower speeds.

    04 STi has virtually no under paneling, 05 has the sides, 06 is virtually flat. It's pretty nuts.

    06 = pia to work on the undercarriage, suspension, breaks, etc....I would guess anyways...
