Just remember to push the clutch in

Seriously you will be fine after 2 day's of driving stick. it will take you a little bit to get used to but it's like riding a bike!

PS: My car is the same as yours and i put Viper stripes on it (just felt it was a little more blokey) and i love em

PM if you would like some pics.
