We are getting to the point where the expense of getting what you want (formally known as "options" or things that you wanted, could select and then pay for) is being transferred from the car maker to the aftermarket. Case in point, how many folks on this forum are prepared to have their top repainted after delivery to the color white, or to have the frame of the vehicle re-painted like the roll out model in CG? Or the changes in the grille to get the one they want, or to repaint the grilles white or silver. Not to mention the interior, mechanicals, etc. It is purely about profit. But the better the aftermarket gets at providing the consumer with exactly what they want at a fair price, the less inclined the buyer will be to purchase directly through the car maker. It will be interesting to see if the white top is available, the light interior is available, the bumper with both fog lights and hooks, etc, etc, etc., from Ford. What was it that Henry Ford said about paint color?........."They can have any color they want as long as it's part of the Unlimited Trim Package."
