Did this ever end up being solved, I have the exact same car and has the exact same issue, also mine has the stock ebc removed under engine cover if thats what it is.. 

Finally cut out big hole in fenders behind the front wheel vents for more air flow.   Just used a nibbler for the bulk and Dremel to finish and round the edges. One side is primed and painted in matched colour the other side is waiting on more parking space to dremel and paint.   https://www.jaycar.co.nz/nibbling-tool/p/TH1768     other people have done this ages ago. The 5 hole idea works and is far quicker but the lowest hole won’t flow as the plastic cover gets in the way. Better to enlarge the bigger factory oval than make the lowest hole… https://www.iwsti.com/threads/fender-rear-engine-vent-optimizing-performance.191959/page-8?post_id=3207454#post-3207454  

Last year, a friend Mitch and I went halvsies in a 1999 Impreza SRX with the idea of beating it on the track when he's up from Queenstown and I'd personally use it a hack to take tramping and throw the bike in.   Recently I've started to tidy it up a little:   I think some new struts all round, 16" wheels with some better rubber and if I can some GTB sway bars, it will be a very fun little car, with no power

Minor updates test fitted the headlight covers, awaiting last of the parts to land then off to panel & paint.....Finally      

Added eyelids to headlights. Noticed when doing indicator bulbs the top of the lens was getting a bit worn. Looks like a mix of sun and dust blasted stripping off the top layer of polycarbonate.   Will add a door foam tape weather seal above headlights to seal to bonnet to stop the air travelling along top of lens in future.
