That should keep you busy for about a week!

the 96 headlights wont fit wit the 97, i just wanna know whats a good 96 bumper that will fit wit my car, and some good side skirts, sorry if i irritated u

no the 97 "talon" headlights will fit on the "96" eclipse bumper!

he's right the talon lights wont fit but the eclipse ones will. You should learn how to search and read the rules before you post and piss people off. Most pepole get annoyed seeing the same posts with the same answers 4 times a week. Your no exception .

maybe i did? im getting others opinions. and if u got a problem, dont take a look at my post

I would suggest that you not be a jerk to the people on here. If you have a problem I would suggest that you be nice, because it is not us who care about your post it is you. It makes no difference to anyone on this board if you get your answer about your body kit or not.

There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this site and I would suggest not burning your bridges just as you get onto here, with your 7 posts.

Oh, and welcome to the site!!!

:iagree: ive seen many people come and get pissed because they didnt read before they post. Most of them never come back because of how ignorant they are. Take the time to search a little before you post.

Its good that we scare away the noobs!!! At least that ways only the real hardcore dsm enthusiasts remain and they know what there talking about! = Correct information and help!

How come your are still doing double replies when you can just click the *edit* button and add what you would like to say?

Other people who posted here, thank you for clearing up (search) problem.

I am sure you will able to find the issues that come with switching out headlights and such when factoring in their bumper fitment in older posts.

For the record, I am sure you will have no problem find a body kit that will fit your Eclipse headlights. Search for 95-96 years to start with. As for the tail lights, that could be found be searching through this forum as well as others/internet. It's been done, and documented.

here's a nice write-up for the taillight/bumper conversion from a talon to an eclipse.

Subject: Solution : Eclipse back end on a Talon
Message-ID: <#12>

Greetings,

For the archives, I'd like to relay some things I learned about making a
hybrid DSM. In the last post I explained an oil fire that melted the
rear bumper and tail lights, as well as peeled paint from the sides.
The bumper cover and part of the tail light assembly was declared
unsalvageable by my insurance adjuster and would need to be replaced.
In order to make the car look a little more unique, and to save some
money to cover my deductible, I opted to go with Eclipse parts. I
selected a 97 bumper cover, 97 reverse lights, and a set of
Euro-style/Altezza-style clear tail lights and ordered them. (My car is
a 1995 Talon TSi AWD.)

I thought these parts were bolt-ons. They weren't.

Of course the lights on Talons and Eclipses are completely different,
and you need to change the lights and bumper cover together, when making
a hybrid. But behind the parts you can see, there are a number of other
parts you can't see that are also different.

Once the old bumper and lights are removed, an Eclipse bumper will "fit"
up to the Talon no problem, but you can't attach it directly. The two
cars use exactly the same bracket to mount the bumper, but the bracket
is actually in a different location! So the first trick to getting the
swap done was to grind off the old bracket, and weld it into the new
location. This is definitely best left to the pros! Next, there are
brackets at the bottom of the cover that hold it in place. These must
be ordered with the cover. If you don't order these extra support bits,
the bumper looks fine standing still, but would flap in the wind while
moving. Reverse lights must be ordered to fit the specific bumper you
choose. Lastly, the licence plate light which is recessed into the
bumper is also completely different. To avoid hack jobs, order the ~$10
tag light.

Other bumper related problems included shipping. It's too big for UPS
or FedEx. It was sent as freight through a shipping company that took
forever to get to me. And the paperwork involved was a nightmare. No
simple "sign here please"!

The big problem with the lights were the wiring harnesses. It never
dawned on me how different they would be. Right down to the types of
connectors used, nothing fit. NOTHING! The solution is to order the
appropriate Eclipse harnesses. Anything less (splicing wires for
example) and you loose the weather resistance. You have to also
remember the harnesses for the reverse lights, the tag light(s) and the
third brake light if you're changing the spoiler too. (I chose not to
change the spoiler because money was tight, and the holes used to mount
the Talon's "half-disc" spoiler were going to cost a fortune in labour
to braze closed.)

All in all, there were no fewer than 15-18 little bits and pieces that
had to be ordered to make the hybrid idea work. And since I live in
Canada everything had to be shipped to me through customs (there are no
sources of Mitsu parts around me). It took a total of 3 shipments and 2
months to get everything right.

But the car does look wicked now. :-)

And yes, I did save money. The complete set of clear lights cost as
much as just one side of the Talon lights (from my local Chrysler
dealer). The bumper cover was slightly cheaper, once the freight
charges were added up.

Good Luck,
Morgan D'Antonio
