It was cool to have the lid pop open though. My option is Ford was the weak link.
Same here, cool to have trunk pop, but not cool to see it pushed up when closed from too much pressure. My steeda set are on the shelf; originals reinstalled.

I'll probably take crap for this, but a Procharger. Yes, the car is an absolute blast to drive, but adding forced induction of any type (Not a dig against Procharger), opens a can of worms that constantly needs fixed.
oh wow, total opposite here…wish I had done it sooner!

Waiting as long as I did to go supercharged!

I regret any kind of adjustable suspension parts (adjustable shocks and adjustable swaybar endlinks), it messes with my head when I experience something I don't like and I think maybe I can adjust it away... I'm in an ok spot right now and I'm just not touching anything, but want to...Pray for me lol

I am positive every single Steeda product I have on my car has either rusted or corroded pretty badly. They do not really hold up when it comes to actual use.

Sadly, seems to be the norm with Steeda products, is they rust.

I can second this. I’ve already pulled my subframe connectors, scuffed and repainted them. I think improper surface prep was/is the cause of rusting.

Headers and diff bushing inserts.

Headers gave no noticeable power change while driving, now have to deal with not having real cats. Loud, smelly, extremely expensive, should have replaced my broken factory headers with another set of stock ones. They sound better but that's it.

Diff bushing inserts basically just transmit whine into the cabin.

Back in 2016, I installed a "tune required" Steeda CAI on my 2013 GT. I realized after about 2 days that it should actually be called a HAI (Hot Air Intake). I would easily see 130 degree readings on warm days with the open element.

The intake noise sounded cool, I guess and the Steeda 93 tune was ok, but I should have stuck with a closed box intake.

A Return Style fuel system, and the various iterations of it, trying to make it more reliable and more capable. I could have bought KPM's best system, for less than I have into mine now.
well yea, but they were a bit of an unknown for awhile…and the first mouse never gets the cheese šŸ˜‰

Truth,
And they weren't available until I was balls deep in my DW810 adventure, but if I had a time machine, that'd be the way I would go, and recommend for anyone else needing a fuel system for FI. @engineermike 's solution is still the best overall, but requires custom tuning and modifications that most aren't going to be comfortable doing, or even capable of doing. For the rest of the pleebs, the KPM system is as good as you will find.

+1 here.
Regretting (a little) for ISC N1 coilovers. While I investigated the topic enough, and picked what serves me the best by parameters, still some real life issues have been coming up. One experienced enthusiast friend gave me advice on this topic: to touch the suspension only as the last resort. Other part of my issue is that it’s not possible to develop the car for track and everyday use.
