Default Noob Z owner looking for some help

What's up guys? I just bought a pikes peak white 2003 Z Touring with about 83,000 miles on it. Had been looking for a while trying to find one that hadn't been beat to $hit and riced out. I owned a 2004 Nissan Altima previously and it was totaled by some broad who rear ended me going about 75-80 so I had about $8,000 for a down payment and found this one for 12 grand. One of the previous owners did put some side skirts and rims on it I have no idea what they are so if you guys could help identify them. Not sure if I want to keep them. Also this is my first manual car but I am picking it up pretty quickly the hills and stopping/starting being the hardest part. I am open to any suggestions or tips/tricks you guys have about shifting in the Z

Nice car!
Wheels look good.Go well with your PPW color.
Suggest getting a front lip.Just running the sides looks
somewhat unfunished.Maybe add a rear diffuser later.
