I only did 4 minor (but badly needed) bolt-on improvements: jacking rails, front and rear Steeda sub-frames (no need to realign, etc), and FP oil separator. Other than that, also badly needed cosmetic improvements, like 35% window tint, GT350 gauges, 5Spurs cup-holder cover, RD mount/hard-wire, rear mats, matching dead pedal, etc. That's about it. Never touch my modern vehicles mechanically anymore. I only added the sub-frames because I like to drive spiritedly, and the Bullitt wallowed like a freaking old Buick. Now it handles like it should from the factory, without adding absolutely any extra NVH :).

Yes, I prefer stock on any car. IMO looks clean unlike tacky aftermarket stuff. And I like a warranty on a car that's always RTR.

I think this is only beneficial for a manual.
Not really.

Your right hand belongs on the steering wheel except when you're in the actual process of shifting. When you balance one hand against the other, you're better able to hold a steady line in straight ahead driving, and your steering will be more precise in the corners.

I'm ignoring any fiddling with the radio or the HVAC that you might also take your right hand off the steering wheel to do.

Boost with a warranty and or .5” -1.5” lowered with struts /shocks/ alignment. Otherwise stock. Only mods you don’t seem to loose value in come selling time.

Cat back, window tint, Mobile 1 - and the aftermarket exhaust is rattling for the second time - a lot of aftermarket parts aren't engineered as well as OEM, if it was stock exhaust it wouldn't be rattling right now probably
