Very few kits use custom parts, and if they are mass produced (usually are after being in a kit) you can get them for decent pricing after. Colour replacements usually don’t cost more, but using a bunch of 1x2s to replace 1x12s will make a weaker product that costs more since those 6 pieces cost more.

And if you have those parts, in reality, you’ve already spent the money and just right there that makes it more expensive anyways.
