If your local dealer can order STI catalog stuff, I'd recommend you get other things:

Metal oil filler cap (sucks when your plastic one breaks... it takes a long time, but they all eventually do)
1.3 bar radiator cap (more pressure before it flows into the reservoir)
STI shift knob, if you like it.

Maybe the STI strut brace bar (yeah, it's floppy, but it doesn't work by bending... its a torsion/compression bar)
Don't think the dealer can order any of that stuff (I could be wrong cuz my local dealer has STI Performance parts for the WRX STI). The new STI metal oil filler cap for the BRZ also allows it to be opened with a socket wrench in case it gets stuck.
