Has anyone ever swapped the hood,Fenders,Lights,Front bumper,grill and etc. from a 2005 Style Focus to the other style like 2000? I was wondering because ive seen it done with the f-150s and Navigators,and the silverados with the escalades because they are the same body lines.

probably not,if so you would need new fenders and hood also, maybe even all new light harnesses

are you wanting to update your car to the 2005 front end?? Personally, I think that the original front end looked much better but thats just my opinion

Come to think of it the original does look better, I probably think mine doesnt look great because my headlights are sun dried or whatever you call it. I've tried using mothers polish on them clean them up a little bit but i'm just going to get new headlights maybe Projectors. Also about the facelift I just thought its more worth it to just get the svt Front bumper and grill and it will look 100 times better.

sand the headlights with 2000 grit wet sand, then polish
(right one untouched, left polished)

my original headlights looked horrible too. they looked like they were scratched to hell but werent yellowed or anything. Im not really sure how they got that way. i just bought a good looking used pair off of ebay for like $50

definitely not in a form that is anywhere close to stock......now if you were to have a slammin bodykit, some neon tubes underneath your car, and about 5000000 stickers on your car that would be a different story

exactly. theres nothing wrong with modifying your car. mine is very slightly modded (springs, exhaust, intake). I just cant stand it when someone rices their car up and then brags about how fast it is. I was never referring to anyone in this thread at all
