Welcome! Front bumpers don't come up often, so just keep an eye out in the classifieds.

Welcome Aboard! My WRX was my first stick car too, way back when I was first looking for one I had the owner of the car I was checking out drive ME around because i didn't want to fry his clutch
Time and patience is the key, and sooner than later it will be like second nature and you wont even think about it! Take good care of your Subaru and it WILL take good care of you!!

Use the parking break if you are having trouble with hill starts. Once you get that down you will find you can use the regular breaks, just need quicker foot work.
