Default New owner, super stoked

Hey guys, this is my first manual car and I'm loving the way it drives. I've been reading about how finicky the clutch can be, and I've already ordered the softer clutch helper spring and will install it soon. It's only been about 5 weeks and I've already got a handle on heel-toe'ing, so I'm feeling great about it. Visibility kinda sucks (especially coming with Florida tint) but I'm used to it with the big *** mirrors now.

I'm into driving for the fun of it, and at least while this car is my DD, I don't plan on track modding. I'm going to focus on a sound system first, going the whole works JL stealthbox (probably 3rd party, maybe not), dynamat etc. Down the line, I'll look into basic intakes and exhaust. For sure gunna drift after I get some cheap tires.

Excited to join the community and I look forward to contributing. Any advice on sound before I get my hands on some parts would be appreciated. Also, I plan on paying a shop to put all the equipment in, I'm definitely not that technical when it comes to audio.
