If anyone did, not any more. It's becoming harder and harder to find new fancy parts for 1st gen Focus. Best bet would be to search the US sites for what you are looking for.

Street Edition lips are kind of like hen's teeth too ... apparently there are a couple of older Mustang lips that can be made to work, and are more plentiful.
2008 Fusion SEL MTX - DD1 * 2009 Fusion SEL - DD2 * 2007 Focus ZXW - R*I*P * 2004 Focus ZTW CD Silver - sold * 2004 Focus ZTW Black - sold * 2003 Focus ZTW Black - sold * 2001 Focus ZTW Gold - sold * 2000 Focus SE Wagon (ZTW option) - Black - sold * 2000 Focus SE Wagon (ZTW option) - Gold R*I*P

2003 Focus ZX5 infra-red Track Rat - R*I*P
2003 ZX5 CD Silver Track Rat - retired, but still in the driveway

New track rat: 2000 ZX3, Atlantic Blue * JRSC with lots more to come

* New Zetec crate motor - NFG - thanks Topspeed *

Those are Wings West 'sedan' skirts, since they don't come up in front of the rear wheel.

Mach 1 lips are easy to find. Any Mustang place sells replicas for under $100 + shipping.

$75 and free shipping in the lower 48!

Cut the ends off to the right length, then use 3M trim tape and some self cutting screws to attach it.

Do you think a Mach 1 lip would fit on a 2005-2007? You said all you did was cut down the sides to make it shorter? jw, thanks.
