New FR-S Owner! First manual car for me, various questions!

Glad to have finally joined the family!



She's a 2013 - Feb 2013 on the Door Jamb.

A bunch of questions in no particular order.
First, since it's my first stick shift, it's quite a learning curve. I assume it's normal that the clutch engagement/bite point feels very high up? I need more practice so I can build the muscle memory on where it is, as I'm still very jerky from a stop. Granted, I don't have many other clutches to compare it to, as I've only driven other manual cars once or twice for short periods of time.

I don't see too many Argento's around here - but I was wondering, if I choose to swap the taillights with Valenti's, I didn't realize how many options there are! What do you think would suit an Argento best? I don't think I want to go with anything too dark or smoked, so perhaps a clear or red lens?

I have the stock/base Stereo in there, and I was hoping to eventually add a subwoofer, something that is small so I can still retain trunk space, something like this https://www.amazon.ca/PIONEER-TSSWX2...ords=TSSWX2502
Do you know what would be a good/reasonable amp choice for that?
My plan is to plug the amp into the existing RCA jacks on the Stereo.

I think I may do the Helix Clear Side Markers too, to clean it up a bit.

Beyond that, no real mods planned apart from the very obvious driver mod, until I get confident and comfortable with driving the car, then I can hopefully start to enjoy the car for what it was built for!
