Contact your local Ford Dealer, or contact Tousley and or Village Ford, to purchase the bumper cover and all the other parts needed for the conversion. The cover alone will not do you much good.

Its been done before, the original poster in the thread that was on the first page has already done the conversion out of necessity due to a collision to the front of their stock MK3 Focus.

Sometimes it can be exciting to just jump in with both feet, but if you could have taken a moment to search or at least scan the first page you might have gotten the information sooner.

Yeah last night when i posted my thread I didn't notice it was attached to yours, i was a bit confused at first. Also by the way your car looks ten times sleeker with that grille, I'm sure you don't mind the people judging you for the ST emblem lol. Just think when I do this to my "sedan" people are just going to laugh at the ST emblem. Honestly though that grille/bumper is way better looking and even sportier looking in my opinion, great job. How much did it cost to get the shell its self painted, or did they match the color for you?

Insurance paid for most of my swap. I hit a deer.

Maybe Im late on this but when I look at this, I am reminded of people that buy V6 Mustangs and put GT or Cobra badges on them.

It makes no sense to me. If you wanted an ST, why not buy an ST?

Try reading.

Oh I read.....it just doesnt make sense to me why you would replace your regular front end with an ST front end when you dont have an ST. To each his own though. Im not trying to take anything away from you.

I love my ST and the way it looks.....I guess I partially side with mac though in the sense that I found people doing the same thing with Mustangs all the time. I dont know how many times I got asked if my Cobra was really a Cobra.....Its kind of like one kid ruins it for the entire class.

Grantid you did this out of necessity of sorts....while I think you could have saved money and put the regular front end of the car, you took it further and got an ST front end.

Like I said...to each his own. Doesnt look bad....looks great. Just confused is all.
