To my knowledge you should be able to. But with the front you would also have to replace the hood as the 01 head lamps are shaped differently than the 05's. As for the trunk, if you switched them the style of the trunk lid wouldn't match the newer lights and bumper. I have never really liked the 01 and 02 rear end ecspecially the reflector across the trunk lid; But I like the 02 front end more than the 05. so if I had the money I'd do an 02 front with an 05 rear since the sides weren't changed

Uhh... No.

01/02 coupes differ vastly from the 03-05. There is no swapping between the headlights/taillights/bumpers/hoods/trunks. The interiors are even different.

It can and has been done, but by mistake. You need to rework where the headlights fit into the frame. The rear would be near impossible to do.
