"vortex generators"

Their purpose (on an STI) is to help create more downforce on the wing when that air hits it.

So far as I know they never came on the STi, only on the Evo MR, which you have pictured :D

The 06+ STi sedan had a roof deflector that had a similar purpose (directing/cleaning air that goes to the spoiler).
