This is a great heatshield for 02-05 (possibly 06?) WRXs. Very well engineered, it's designed to seal up around the air deflector underneath of your hood scoop to vent hot air out the scoop from the turbo / downpipe area while idling and forces cool air over the same area while driving. It won't fit with any aftermarket TMICs and won't fit with the stock STI TMIC (sorry Shea, I checked =/)
The only thing this is missing is the bolt to attach it to the intercooler bracket, but pretty much any bolt / nut combo that fits there will work. The weatherstripping at the top corner of it is coming loose also, I'll secure it before I sell it.
$75 shipped.

P.S. The website says that there are different heat shields for the different year WRXs, but my buddy ran this fine on his 02 WRX before he installed a FMIC.
