I got up close and personal with one of the new cars on display at the track this weekend and the front and rear brakes look identical to stock. Maybe they have a different mounting but I'm doubting it.
So I'm thinking aftermarket bbk will be just fine.

Exhaust is identical too. Only question is still the header.

No spare tire. Just the foam tray to fit where a spare would go with tire goop kit, and a fewer trunk tools.

Engine bay looks pretty identical too. Small aftermarket parts like hood struts, master cylinder brace, strut brace, etc will likely swap over.

Suspension definitely looks the same. I'm thinking everything will swap over as far as coilovers, RLCA's, and front swaybar is probably the same too. Rear is questionable, but I think it may fit also.

Personal opinion, they changed a Lot with the styling, electronics, and engine. The remainder of the mechanical parts seem nearly identical.
