It appears that if you install these "stays" that you can install the rear diffuser right on top of the bar by installing the brackets.
My best explanation.

for the neat factor.. it gets an "A" but for the price of the diffuser bracket + diff bar.. costing some where around $310.. i don't think it's worth it.. esp when diffuser only cost like $70-80

the rear bracket thats on the 05 will work...but we learned today that you will have to drill into the rear seam...(non-structural) to get the bracket to fit...the 06 STi's have the bolt holes already on that seam...It will sit about 1/4 higher than it will on the stock 06 due to the drilling for the bracket...
more later...
