I saw a question earlier about the "brake dust covers."

Those are likely revised dust shields behind the rotors that are compatible with the brake ducts. In other words, they have a hole in them with an attachment point for the ducts.

I was talking about the STI vs STi debate.
The bottom lip clearly says "STI"

I guess I should have made it more clear.
