Default Late clutch? + blacked out headlights

hello everyone, i have an 04.5 350z 6spd daytona blue that i purchased 4 months ago. i love the vehicle to death and this is my first stick car (have prior experience though) and have a question. my friend has an 03 z and he and i noticed my clutch grabs pretty late which makes it harder to catch the gear. now is that an issue or is that just how the car was setup? like i said, i have had the car for 4 months now but still haven't gotten it down with the clutch. what are the pros and cons of the late catch? should i take it to a shop to take a look at it or is there something i can do to make it catch earlier? any help would be lovely.

also, i am looking to black out my headlights.. any good websites to get them at? i see some on ebay but i don't like how it's blacked out but has some silver mirroring on the inside of it. i've seen some z cars totally blacked out and look alot better. thanks.

I black out my headlights myself the only downfall for painting the mirror is you lose the highbeam.. I mean it's there but you can't see it when driving
