2005 mustang gt used to be my daily. Since getting the bronco, the mustang has been sitting in the garage. I put 10 miles on the mustang in the almost two years I've owned the bronco...
base, 2.3L, 7MT, aux switches, black diamond take-off wheels/tires
Installed seat covers this morning (seat designs brand, $156 shipped from rockauto). rolled the dice given the price, and so far I think I like them. Removing the seats from the cabin made it much easier to install.
'22 base 2dr. 2.3L, 7spd manual, 4.46 gears, 32" black diamond take off wheels/tires.

dealer honored MSRP for my reservation as well (base 2dr, manual trans, AUX switches only option); just over $31k after tax/title/registration. Same dealer gave me a set of BD take-off wheels/tires/tpms sensors for $400.

transferred new (old) license plates. I love the plain look of my 2dr base, and I felt older style VA plates looked best. Found a clean set on ebay for $20(ish), and went to the DMV today to update my registration.
the dealer had a Black Diamond model come in - the customer wanted total upgraded suspension (lift) and wheels/tires. I managed to get the take-off wheels/tires they removed from the customer vehicle.
you're right - ordering directly from Ford (through the dealer) is way more expensive. I was...
I just scored a set of take off Black Diamond wheels/tires and put them on my base model. Love the utilitarian look...
and when it comes time to get new tires, I'll have more options to go 33's or 34's with the 17" rim.
