The “front” stripe you ordered is the front splitter extension, not the grille stripe.
It mounts beneath the STi front under spoiler.
The rear stripe you ordered is an aftermarket reproduction, not the oem part, which is why it’s cheaper.

Thanks. Hope the front stripe is at least visible since it’s underneath the spoiler.

It will be, but before installation, take it out of the box and let it sit for a few days if you don’t want it wavy.

They do have this for the front; however, if you inspect it in the close shots it's just a vinyl/sticker type, not a mold like the ts STI ones.
