Pre-facelift & Facelift & STi Version #:
The front ends for the GC/GF chassis are commonly grouped into Pre-facelift and Facelift (Ver1-2 and Ver3-Ver6). The differences are due to the change in the shape of the Hood, Headlights, and Grill. They can be mixed; however, there are notable gaps. The fenders, corner lights, and front bumpers are interchangeable regardless of the version. The following photo from an STi catalog identifies the differences in STi Version #s.

Any luck with rear diffusers?

I know this factory piece fits. I'd like to cover a bit more surface area in the rear, but not drag plastic all over hell and back.

What about the universal Ebay schtuff?

This rear diffuser for the bug eye is the one that interest me the most. I'm not looking for one that's too flashy.

For shits n' giggles. This looks like a bit of a pain to fit correctly. ^^Above looks like more of a nicer fit under the rear.
