Carbon fiber hoods are touchy subjects a lot of places.. there will always be people who will call you a ricer/poseur/whatever for putting one on your car, especially if your car isnt a big performance machine. But remember that it's your car and your taste and you can do whatever you want to it.
The thing about lowering it though, is that doing body mods to a Focus at stock ride height (4x4-mode) just looks out of place. Same thing if you were to put a body kit on it, something just seems "off". I lowered my car 1.5" with the FK 35-40mm springs and didnt have any trouble in last year's snow (and SK gets a lot of snow).. But yeah, bottom line is that it's your car and you can do whatever you want, but asking for opinions can be a dangerous thing with things like this.
