Basically I have a pre facelift wrx sti and it has scoops either side replacing the bonnet vents. Someone has told me that I can't replace these scoops with facelift bonnet vents n that I need the pre facelift ones?.. I would of thought they are same fitment just different design?

The prefacelift is sort of ever so slightly concave in the central area and the TMIC's central bonnet scoop does NOT have a little pointy piece in the centre of the opening.

The facelift bonnet has definite 'creases' either side and the central area is raised slightly. The TMIC's bonnet scoop DOES have a little pointy bit in the opening.

Sure.

In that case the style of vents you'd need are as in Ryan's pic 1 above...

Yeah, the facelift bonnet (plus headlights/grille) combo is much nicer/aggressive.
