Front bumper for 1997 Talon?

Hey all, I just finished searching through every single post in this forum and was not able to find an answer to my question.

I've got a 1997 Talon ESI and have torn up the front bumper and simply want to replace it. Problem is, I can't find anywhere that actually has the OEM Talon bumper. So, I'll just replace it w/ a aftermarket front bumper, but can't find any made for the Talon. All the aftermarkets I find are for the Eclipse. What year of the Eclipse models would be compatable w/ a 97 Talon?

What changes would be necessary to any bumpers I buy that are made for an Eclipse but want to put on my Talon, or would it simply be bolt-on?

Thanks. I've been trying to find the ansewr to this question for two weeks now surfing the web in my spare time.

ITS THE SAME CAR, a 97-99 eclipse bumper would bolt right up and is sexy as hell

Re: Front bumper for 1997 Talon?

yup. searched through all the discussions in this forum and couldn't find any info. regarding this. thanks, though. for some odd reason i thought there was some certain year of Ecplipse that the front bumper was only compatible w/ the 1997 Talon. one guy in a body shop told me they only worked w/ 95 and 96 Eclipses, another one told me only 97 and 98 Eclipse front bumpers would bolt onto a '97 Talon.

why do so many websites that sell body kits say the bumper has to be modded to fit on a Talon? for example, the following site says "NOTE: Made for the Eclipse. Talon and Laser Models will require modifications to fit properly"

http://www.sportcompactonly.com/prod...00553&l=2&c=96

what's the deal w/ this?

Thanks
