Default Differences between wrx and sti body styles (blob eye)

I checked out the forums and found alot of "differences between wrx and sti" threads but not anyone geared towards the body styles let alone the exact generation I'm specifying. Here goes. I have an 05 wrx and want a little more aggressive look. I noticed that the front bumper and the part on the sides in front of the wheels (quarter panels?) are diff on wrx and sti so I am wondering what else is different.

Can anyone here list the exact differences between body styles?

Rear fender arches, front splitters, large hood scoop, and badging should be the only differences.

STI's also got factory HID headlights where the WRX had standard halogen. WRX's got fogs, STI had covers over the foglight openings.
