Understand that to even use a BRZ on a track there are specific mods you need that you didn't even list, such as new tires, brake pads, and cooling (you don't 100% need these mods but you will not last very long on a track day if you don't have them). Also understand that the car as you have it now, basically stock, is essentially the closest you'll get to having a do-it-all car, one which can go to the track, look nice at a show, and make the journey home all in a day. You're at the crossroads of diverging paths, and as soon as you start putting mods on the car you go down one of those paths. You can't mod a car to work on the track but also be a reliable, comfortable daily driver, or put too many exterior parts on without compromising the car's performance.
I'm not trying to offend, but modding is more complicated than just slapping parts on it, and I'm sure you know that. And don't think my comment about the wrap was a weaboo jab or anything; plenty of us on here like anime, and hell, there's even an anime discussion thread! The wrap simply looked horrendous.
You can do whatever the hell you want to your car, I just don't want you to end up selling it in 6 months because you're unsatisfied with it.

Look, I was just looking for some direction on what I'm probably looking for in terms of good brands, or more refined information to understand certain areas of parts so I can make an informed decision. Most of what I listed was just generalizations about what I do know, and what I've seen.
I gave what I could for what I wanted out of it, I wrongly assumed the forum would for the most part ignore the superficial stuff I mentioned. I gave references for directions I was headed, I made no destination on anything in stone, and I got people telling me I'm going to get myself killed on the track? Without even knowing how much, or what I even plan to do. Even those who assume my age, because of preferences... Also if I would be able to afford any of it! Like, what the hell? You don't know who I am or my financial situation. I want these things because I want the color/some sort of performance to come with it if I'm buying something.
I'm going to be doing this all myself for the most part, I want to own my car, and say I did it myself. I don't want people on a forum bashing me for asking general things, and slamming me.
I've been on the internet long enough to know it's an uncensored area, but I hope to at least have some shred of understanding from a car community centered around a single model...especially for someone new. I'm not asking for much I don't think. I tried being polite while showing what I've found, and what I know.
