I'd suggest you start with the tune first and see how you like the feel of the car, then you can move on to weight reduction.
I used to daily an older Porsche with a roll cage, coilovers, aftermarket exhaust, racing seats, and some of the insulation/carpeting taken out to reduce weight (and make space for the cage). It's cool at first, but it definitely makes the car more tiring to drive. With the FRS, I can go on a 300 mile trip and feel good at the end of it. In that Porsche, after 15 minutes I would have a headache and backache.
Also, girls hated how loud and uncomfortable it was
Of course, this is just my $0.02. You may like it, but in my personal experience, I'd prefer all the comforts that come with a less-modded car for a DD. That said, don't let strangers on the internet make your decisions for you! haha
