You do not get to pick and choose what it is, but they will sell you any upgrades you want after the sale. If you start wanting to change options on a kit they already have completed you are going to start costing them and you more money, so it is best to take it as is.

This may work with any manufacturer and it wouldn't hurt to ask, but FFR sells the most kits (I think that is still true) and the most likely to run into this situation.

This may only happen once a year or two, but in these odd times, it might be more likely.
On top of the advice above, there are two FFR specific forums that you could put a wanted ad in their classifieds looking to purchase an unfinished kit. I'd think that would be your next best step.
