I don't see them offering multiple trim levels on the car, beyond what they've done so far with the "special edition" models. I highly doubt a lot of the mods you've listed too.

Particularly:
-Any HP increases: at least not on a base/"sport" model. Maybe, maybe, on a higher trim model (if they were to go that route), but I still do not expect to see that.
-BBK: It'd be adding unnecessary costs to production and the final price. This car, without a fairly decent bump in power, does not need better brakes. Could it use them? Sure, but that's what aftermarket upgrades are for.
-.
This line made me think of something that I don't remember seeing anybody mention before!
Toyota/Subaru made a big deal about sharing the cars specs with the aftermarket before the car even was released. They even went so far as providing technical drawings to the major parts producers. Their statement at the time was that they wanted to encourage the aftermarket industry to fully support this platform! This is why the aftermarket was ready so quickly after the cars first release.
Now in hind sight that would have been a suicidal business plan if they had ever intended to do upgrades now wouldn't it?
