So I read a while back that weapons with the trip quality add their enhancement bonus to CMB for that particular combat maneuver, and you also add any bonuses gained from feats like weapon focus. Does that also apply to natural attacks that have the grab or trip quality like a wolf's or a constrictor snake's? I'm asking because I gave grab to an eidolon, and I want to know if magic fang and weapon focus increase it's CMB on the grab attack.
This was clarified in one of the blog post any bonuses that apply to the weapon apply if your using the weapon for the manuver.
It was actually here on the forums, one of those rules people often forget threads that I saw that enhancement bonuses apply to CMB in that circumstance.

Yes.
What is your source for magic modifiers adding their bonus to trip weapons? I see nothing in the rules to suggest that this is true.
Here (Under Performing a Combat Maneuver):
When you attempt to perform a combat maneuver, make an attack roll and add your CMB in place of your normal attack bonus. Add any bonuses you currently have on attack rolls due to spells, feats, and other effects. These bonuses must be applicable to the weapon or attack used to perform the maneuver.
