For clear-bra, is it worth doing the whole front (fender, bumper, entire hood, mirrors)? Is it something that could be done myself (I'm not an expert and have never done it before). I think that can run upwards of $1500 to have that done, but could be about 1200 just for the film! Also does the car colour matter? Would the clear bra be more evident on a black car?
For winter I'll definitely get winter tires and rims, but I plan to try out the stock tires and hope they suffice until they wear out. After that I might consider something a little stickier. I don't really plan to drift it.
Front lip's a good idea. I thought that if the lip got caught it might mess up the rest of the bumper, but I guess it all depends on how the lip is attached. I'll look into it.
Does a exhaust and cool-air intake combo really make a discernible difference in the power?

I plan on getting this lip within the next month,
http://www.jonmotoring.com/subaru-brz-sti-style-front-lip-polyurethane/ heard a lot of good things about the fitment. Some coats of Mothers Back to Black and you wont even need to paint it. Great beginners DIY. It does come misshaped cause of packaging but polyurethane will reform with some heat. Just leave it out in the sun for like 30 something minutes, or blow dry it.
Exhaust and intake, depending on your products, will get you like a maximum 9 WHP(WheelHorsePower). The
Perrin intake gets you 5 WHP and some exhausts have been Dyno'd at 1-2 sometimes 3-4 WHP. It's almost like your warranty will last as long as you don't directly interfere with the engine and it's parts. You can also get a new filter for the filter box and possibly strut bar across the engine if you're into that.
