actually it is entirely dependant on the car.
some 01+ cars require trimming while others do not.
not every car is exactly the same from the factory so it is hit and miss, pretty much all 00 cars you have to trim a fair amount off to make them work.
as for the 98-04 to 05+ US spec conversion, it's just a matter or replacing the panels. hood, fenders, bumpers and lights and possibly the upper rad support. aside from those bits, the 98-04 and 05+ Focus is basicly the same car, just face lifted.
the rears are going to be tricky as previously stated, the sedan rear is different.
both the wagon and hatch rears remain unchanged from the face lift and the side skirts should also be cross over.
a 05+ euro conversion will probably not work at all as the euro 05+ is closer to the Mazda3 and Volvo S40 than the focus we have over here!
oh and the hatch, wagon and sedan all have different rears.
all of which are available for the 98-04 models from europe.
i have a wagon rear in stock but the sedan stuff just doesn't sell so it's a pre-order only thing! ;)
