Looked into the weathertech liners, bought them, and then we had the worst winter ever. At times, I had half an inch of slush sitting in these before emptying them out. These saved my Mustang's carpet - for sure.

Not to pee on your Steeda shifter, but a lot of the improvement you get with that is the upgraded bracket. So for just the cost of just a bracket, you could upgrade that part, and still have 150$ left for other mods.
ANY upgrade to the stock shifter, regardless of brand is a good idea.
As 200$ is only half way to an MGW, it doesn't fall under the OP's threshold.

Canadian Tire has some really good weather mats on sale for less than $20 per side!!!!
They looked pretty aggressive and fairly rugged looking. I'm likely going to pick up a set this weekend.

Some one did a write up on this and posted pictures. I just picked up my new 2014 GT Premium Track pack car and the Clutch piping is totally different then what was posted. mine is a braided line. I am wondering if the line has been redesigned? I have just over 200 miles and the shifting is getting better evey day. Almost like butter...
When I first picked it up is was very notchy

I have an early build '13 and it also has a braided line. I finally went to install the line I had sitting on a shelf, got the car up, go to pull out the line and I'm like WTF? I was all excited about improving clutch performance and because I got a great deal. Now I'm just getting less money back, lol.
I REALLY hope that my car doesn't have the plastic factory clutch line as well. i'm not buying a thing for it till after i've had it for a while and let it "break in"
I hope that they spent the extra few dollars and just put in a better part!

For me, its the Barton 2 post bracket. Installed it this morning and went for a drive.....much improved shifting. After only 75 miles on the odometer, I hated how the car shifted. Now it shifts so much better and consistent. Highly recommended for a $100 mod. Next is a louder exhaust. The gt500 mufflers are way to quiet.

I've spent waaaaaay too much money on a car I don't have yet. I have a problem. 
Best mod for under $200....I've got a few....that I can't comment on functionally yet...but from research and lookin' at purdy pictures:
1) air/oil separator (I went Moroso)
2) hood struts (I went MMD)
3) 3/4" drill bit to open up the baffle plates on the Boss exhaust that I'm putting on Day 1 (I went to Home Depot)

I know it pains me when we have other Fords that have them, but some don't. Namely our F-150. My mom's Focus doesn't have them and neither does my Escape, but still. It's just dumb. Thanks Jay Leno.
