So I'm guessing that this hood (which looks basically like stock...same material...but has the air vent) might go for 500.

Most companies make aftermarket hoods out of fiberglass.. since it's cheaper and easier to tool than making steel hoods. That, and fiberglass is a lot lighter than steel (and not that much heavier than carbon fiber).
I like how that hood looks like the intake scoop looks flush with the hood.. nice and low profile. I don't think a big scoop looks very good on the Focus, they usually just end up looking really fake and useless..
