Looks sweet, I was thinking it was that one with the gills/etc they used to have on their project focus a while back, glad that it isn't :)
Mind I ask how much it was?

Looks really good.. I think the OEM style is the best hood for the Focus. Are the edges rolled?

Thanks for the great feedback guys, I didn't want anything with a lot of scoops or gills, I considered the invader style, but that would have been a last resort. The OEM look was what I was after from the begining.
-The hood was $599 USD from Steeda (before any shipping charges) for those who asked.
-The hood closes good, and is only slightly more difficult than the stock hood was.
-I'm not sure if the edges are rolled or not. I came across this term while researching hoods but didn't see any examples of what this looks like and I don't have anything else to compare it to, but if I had to guess I would say no.
This isn't something I would have gone out and done on my own, but about 4 weeks ago I rearended somebody and the hood was wrecked. I though I might as well make the best of a bad situation, and took the money I got from insurance to replace the hood and put it towards this.

rolled edges are exactly that. at the edges they are either; rolled to offer a nice smooth radius or cut and have a sharp edge.
rolled edges are usually a sign of a decent quality hood while cut edges are a sign of junk, cheaply made and usually bad fitment.
FI hoods are known to be very nice hoods.

The edges are definatley cut then, they are not rolled at all. For a second I thought maybe the hood was a knock off, but is says Fiber Images in a stylized writing the top of the hood in very suttly raised clear coat. And there is a rivited on serial number on the underside of the hood. I googled fiber Images, but it seems you need a password to access their website.

Not bad... I was searching for a CF hood but, stopped when I realized how much of a shortage there really is... FI is a good brand but, they do have markers to show what a knock off is and is not..
Glad you like it...
