Has anyone every purchased/leased a custom ordered Ford Mustang in the Detroit Metro area? I have been reading blogs on this site for several weeks in pursuit of my first Mustang GT. After reviewing the stock that the local dealerships have to offer,I found myself not liking certain aspects of the Mustang GT offerings. For example, I am not crazy about the grill with those giant lamps in the center grill, the upgraded 18" chrome wheels (cylinder 5 star), and the front and rear fascia's.

I would like to custom order a Mustang GT with the Shelby GT500 front and rear fascia, the Super Snake hood (now available), and the 20" Super Snake Alcoa wheels.

Many dealerships do not even want to speak to someone about custom orders because they are too busy trying to sell those on the lot. I am told body kits are not residualized which makes the payment unbearable.

I don't entirely understand the logistics which goes into selling/leasing a Mustang but pricing on a Mustang GT fully loaded with the Cali Special package versus a Mustang GT minus some accessories to account for my mock ups end up around the same price. However, I am being quoted about $200 additional per month with my mock ups even though the purchase price is the same.

Can anyone provide me with some words of wisdom and hopefully point me to a local dealer who is known for custom orders. I seem to know more about custom orders then the sales people I am dealing with.
