Car Info: .

youre welcome, read the last part of the quote. vortex generator are not only for the undercarriage of a car. the 06 sti is wing is acting in the same manner as a vortec generator to smooth out the air coming off of the roof...

"On the outside, the MR gets the option of an exclusive Graphite Gray paint color in addition to the lightweight BBS wheels (17-inch) and a unique vortex generator that resides on the back of the roof section. Contrary to its complex-sounding name, the vortex generator is merely a strip of specially designed fins that are designed to flow more air to the rear spoiler for added downforce."
