Default 2008 Mustang GT automatic transmission swap?

I have a 2008 Mustang GT im thinking of changing the automatic into a manual. I want to know if its possible and how much it might cost and where I can get it done in the Los Angeles area.

Can a Ford shop do it or do i have to go somewhere else.

Very expensive. You'd need the transmission, main wire harness, PCM, clutch master & slave, flywheel, clutch, & clutch pedal. Looking at about $3k in parts alone (and that's if you get a takeoff tranny for $700).
