Is an FRS a good first car to learn how to wrench/mod on? 6MT. I want to add coil overs, sway bar, new big brake kit, wheels, some interior enhancements like new deck, also sound system, and of course, underglow, body kit, headlight taillight assembly.

No.
Buy a 3k civic and learn from there.

It’s not new it’s 5 years old with 40k miles and only costs $10k...

>all that shit
that's more than $10k and many weekends in modding. just throw a turbo on it and some better tires and call it a day.

Lol......this isnt Need For Speed dude,all that shit will not be cheap and fucking up your first car with all that shit is retarded.
Focus on coilovers, good tyres, valve springs, cams, decent exhaust system

Come on user, after making your slow car slightly less slow that's the next logical step.

I hate you and I hope you for before you can ruin that car.
That's out of the way, so the car: it'll be as good for modding and proper wrenching as any modern car can be. The 2013 are out of warranty now (or soon), but the important thing is that the engine bay is cleanly designed, with everything in plain view and no bullshit with 1 component buried beneath 3 others.
Instead of being a faggot and wasting a huge amount of money on making a fairly nice looking car into a riced out shitbox, start with a supercharger. Specifically a supercharger, because the spool time on a turbo ruins the responsiveness, and the short gearbox is engineered for fast, responsive controls as opposed to highest top speed.
New tires are a must, and will be the best improvement in performance aside from the engine upgrade, and you will want some better brakes. The stock brakes are good, but you want better anyway.
Seriously though, don't ruin your car with pretentious bullshit. It deserves better.

Lmao I love when people buy shit cars and then proceed to throw on double it's worth in mods for 30% improvement when you could have just bought a stock platform with far more base performance and modding potential. You will always have a "weak-est" link in the car and will burn into your wallet trying to up the performance when you realize so many of the integral parts of the car are econoshit.
