Notice how the "STI" has a carbon roof, but it's not highlighted anywhere else as a product. Perhaps its hidden in the text.
The aero stuff they have seem legit. Front splitters are good because they reduce the separation right under the bumper, although this is a relatively small effect. The rear diffuser thing just extends the useful portion of the original one by a few inches, won't have much of an effect. The rear spoiler seems about right, the rear windshield angle looks to be around 20 degrees, which will cause some slight flow separation which the rear spoiler should help counter. Not sure but I think the little extensions going forward would help reduce trailing vortices.
