They are Vortex Generators. When properly designed and placed, they delay airflow separation from the surface they are mounted on. I suspect this application is purely for looks.

Not sure why, but I've consistently been getting decent mileage (according to the computer) going into work when the weather is cooler.
Need to hand calculate to see how close that is. Just filled up with some top tier 93 yesterday so we'll see.
Been enjoying the WRX so far. It's a total different feel from the '17 GTI I had. This thing just hooks! Guess that's the AWD part. I will likely have to replace the tires eventually. They put Hankook's on it back in '24 and I had to have them road force balanced last week. They flat spot something fierce if it sits more than a day. No bueno.
Adding a couple pics just for fun, especially the obnoxious STI wing

That car is in good shape ! Now, lose the spoiler wing, and lose the ice dam breakers at the top of the rear window. Love the dashboard 
... It's a shame the tires flat spotted on you
