Debadge, weight reduction, and a non-lacerating shift knob.

I don't have an FRS yet. Once i get one--to answer your question-- i'd remove the back seat, all the trunk flooring and panels, lightweight wheels, Braille battery, ect.

Enjoy the car first and foremost. Take it out on some twisty roads for a full day.
Let the engine break-in and take time to bond with the car in its current form. Then, when you are ready for MODs, consider keeping your FRS exterior stock (a sleeper) so don't attract cops, etc. engine mods are already available.
Since the BRZ and the FRS engines are the same, you can use these parts:

I am considering quite a few parts on this site too. Congratulations on your new FRS. You are one lucky 17 year old.

Easiest mod to start off with. It can add up to 50hp and no I'm not joking just make sure you install to your fuel tank.
