according to the source, isn't this considered to be changed, in order
to apply "customization"?

(defcustom grep-find-command nil
  "The default find command for \\[grep-find].
In interactive usage, the actual value of this variable is set up
by `grep-compute-defaults'; to change the default value, use
Customize or call the function `grep-apply-setting'."
  :type '(choice string
		 (const :tag "Not Set" nil))
  :set 'grep-apply-setting
  :group 'grep)


If not, then i guess there is no easy way to apply a "wrapper" since the find statement always contains the "find ." instead of what i want to achive a "find /some/where/else". So, copy paste the grep-find function and reimplement it? i am not sure if this is good since changes to grep.el will never reflect in my change again. my lisp skills are to lousy for that anyways.
