I think the taillight sequencers give the function to sequence for everything besides the turn signal (unlocking, brake light, etc...)
oh ok, I'll have to look into that
I have the sequencers - the thing I like about them is it seqences both sides on braking. I understand it's not DOT-approved because not enough light is emitted on first pressing the pedal, but 1) I think it looks cool and different from most other mustangs, and 2) I think the motion attracts attention more than just brake lights.

Lots of suspension stuff. Lots of Steeda IRS stuff, cradle/subframe braces, shocks & struts.

Makes a world of difference. Plants the car to the road.

With that out of the way, as the title states, I'm looking for simple upgrades or relatively cheap upgrades that pretty much anyone should do to improve the platform.
Terry your car looks awesome and you've got most bases covered except suspension, which is covered in every way in the suspension thread including folks who've asked the same type of question. Also the Search button can yield great results but unless you can be more specific ie do you it want to go faster/look different/handle/stop you're probably going to get a telephone book of random mods many of which might not apply eg rear seat delete. There's 3500 pages of discussion on every conceivable mod here:

When I got mine I hit the Steeda site and others to just get an idea of what was available and what I wanted/needed before searching on here.

By all means have at it but IMHO you'll get more progress by researching a bit first.

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't 15-17 cars need injectors to run E85?

They only need them if you add a different intake mainfold, maybe if you do long tubes or cat delete too, I'm not sure. But eventually I will be getting injectors anyway as I plan on at least deleting the cats at some point and maybe a 2018 manifold eventually.

Thanks, I was just wondering if there was anything small that I was missing that was easy/cheap like the light upgrades some have mentioned, I need to sort through some suspension upgrades soon and see what small/easy to do things are worth upgrading over stock. lowering is out of the question for me as the ally I pull into to park has an elevation change that my car just clears now.

I don't think hood struts go well with lightweight fiberglass hoods, forgot to list that I had a catch can, radar detector is definitely now on my list, I always forgot about those. Dash cam isn't much of a priority living in a rural area but not a bad suggestion either and the jacking rails I don't see the need for, anytime I'm working on anything I need to be under it for I'm only jacking up enough to put on jackstands.
