I wonder if SOA will be bringing over the STI BRZ axle back as well since the 2015 WRX and STI have the option. If it's priced similar (~$700 invoice), I'd consider selling my Tomei 60S.

I check everyday for updates to the parts and accessory catalog. Nothing else BRZ related yet, but I'm sure in the coming months we will get some more updates on accessories/performance parts for the BRZ.

Since they are finally releasing the lip kit here I am optimistic that other things will be available as well.

Not sure what standard customer pricing would be. My cost is right around $1000

For Reference, List Pricing is as follows:

Side Skirts - $499.99
Rear Sides - $335.00
Front Lip - $399.99

I stopped by my dealership and they couldn't pull the part numbers. I was reminded that regions do things different. I see that @CARNZ is on the East Coast, which does things a lot different than the West Coast.

Awesome that these are coming to the US. That'll make it cheaper to replace aero kit pieces if I ever need to. STI offers the best fit and finish aero kit for the twins based on what my SoCal friends have seen. This is partly due to the simplicity as compared to, say, TRD front and sides which have complex edges that don't always line up perfectly.

Finding shops willing to improvise to service my car has been a challenge.
Which is based on my interpretation of Car and Driver's vague description in this article:

But the installation instructions published on the STIS database show same side skirts. Kind of a pain that not all jacks may be able to accommodate it even if your car is at stock height. You'd just need to find those shops that can accommodate. Worth the trouble as these skirts look better in person than in pics and get compliments even from non-car guys/gals.

Some parts of me wish they are different so we can say we've got the JDM goodies, but some parts of me want it to be the same so we can buy another set... JUST IN CASE.
