Replaced my 96 Talon bumper with 97 Eclipse bumper!

As you may remember when I came to this forum a few weeks ago, I said I was trying to replace my 96 Talon bumper with a 96 Eclipse bumper cause I couldn't find a 96 Talon bumper anywhere. But then you guys suggested that I upgrade it with a bumper of 97 Eclipse and at the same time replace the headlighst to 97's as it looks much better. Well I finally recieved my bumper and lights in the mail on Friday, and I just had time to put them on today. I want to thank you guys, cause it's looking great so far, all it needs now is a paint job, and a nice set of wheels! Here are some pics.

I'm pricing paint jobs right now.

Re: Replaced my 96 Talon bumper with 97 Eclipse bumper!

You say you have a talon...but it looks like you have the low-profile stock ECLIPSE spoiler that came on the base models. You know the three-piece one?

Thats what it lookslike from the pics....Did you change the spoilers around?

Nope, unfortunatkey it is not a TSi, it's just a plain old Talon. I am thinking of putting a Turbo on it though.

I'm thinking about it, but there's something about the current spoiler that I like... So I'm still thinking about it.

I assure you my a car is indeed an Eagle Talon (here's a pic of the back: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...an/Talonmp.jpg). The spoiler is still the same spoiler that was on the car when I bought it a few months ago. Besides, I see plenty of Talon's with this spoiler on them.

Re: Replaced my 96 Talon bumper with 97 Eclipse bumper!

Huh, thats funny. Pretty sure no talons came with that spoiler, but it looks to me like the stock one is still on there.

I'm currently working on that, because those hubcaps really need to go.
I'm looking around, and pricing them right now. I can't even decide on the style of wheels I want.

You are correct. No talons came with that spoiler. Most people cant stand the Talon spoilers. I love them. Shit, I changed mine from the 95-96, to the 97-98.

Lower 95-96 spoiler


higher 97-98 spoiler


Don't ask why I didn't use my own car for pics. Im lazy.
