You need to swap the undertrays over. Or buy a early undertray to fit.

edit: If you want to do the I/C upgrade (which is a nice mod) then this thread will be of interest. If you do a search, you will find plenty of people that have already done this with some good results.

I faclifted my car and have the STi6 cooler to go on. As yet Ive still not done it but... I fitted a bolt on air splitter and from my intake temp sensor that I fitted - it has worked really well - temp down by 4-5 degrees. also fitted some high temp heat reflectant sticky nasa stuff around the underside edges of the slanty cooler and inside the turbo heatshield - seems to be working. next summer will be the test when it warms up though.
