I think I heard about $7500/door for the conversion.
Search! There is a thread on it along with pics, pricing and a few companies who can do the conversion for you.

I don't know if the FD roof has enough support for something like that. You'd have to tear up the car pretty good to do that.

It runs on garbage.. Just put it in a food-processor that is strapped to the gas tank, and it'll hover!
Okay.. I'm on crack (figuratively people, don't go calling the feds) cause my company just avoided bankruptcy... Now I'm not so scared of shelling out the $$ for the scoot hood!!!

The cost of having the conversion done IMO costs way too much for and benefit besides the "cool" factor. It will probably add extra weight to the car. ~shrugs~

The stock engine was a 2.85 liter 90-degree V6 with overhead cams that made 130 horsepower @ 5,500 rpm, and 153 lb-ft. of torque @ 2,750 rpm... not exactly a screamer, and the car weighed about 2,700 lbs. with a full tank of gas. They were rated at 8.5 seconds 0-60, a top speed of 130 mph, and did the quarter in about 16.5 @ 85 mph. In other words, a stock '02 Ford SVT Focus would kick its ***.
