Well i got it done...

[Spoolin45]

i posted a thread about 3 weeks ago,saying i was trying to do an eclipse rear convertion on my Girlfriends 97 Talon. and i was running into a bunch of problems well i been putting it off,and putting it off,and i finally got it done. i took some pics to show everyone the finished product. dont mind the diff. color black thats on the bumper or how dirty the car is, im gonna be gettin the whole car ready for paint soon. also my girlfriends jame is Jackie,her FUL name is Jacqueline,nobody calles her that ,but she decided she wanted to take the "ECLIPSE"off the cent and put her full name there. and for a Girl car,its comming out nice.

but what i did was just went to Home Depot and bought 3 L brackets,just like everyone was tellin me to do , and screwed them about 4 inchs ubove the "Talon" bracket. and once we had it on there,it looked great! no gaps,and it fit flush with the car.

now all thats left it to get her a new hatch,and put the GSX "Rainbow" wing on

and if any 1 is interested,i have the talon rear bumper,and tail lights for sale. and i will have the rear hatch and Talon wing for sale soon. just gotta get her a new hatch

let me know what you think...did i do "OK" for my 1st eclipse rear conversion?

After i got the bumper off

Not bad. Pull her name off, though. Too easy for someone to make her think they know her and do some shady stuff.

Yea,i was thinking the same thing

Looks good but the name should go.....

 

[dispinoygotgame]

looks great bro, especially since its your first time. ^^^i agree with them though...the name should be taken off

yea, i think well be takin it off soon. im gonna put up some pics of the interior pretty soon. i did it all Purple for her for a girls car it looks really good.

i wanna keep this hatch and just put her GSX wing on, but when i take the Big talon wing off,theres 2 Big Holes up by the glass,on the hatch,so i figured the only way(besides body work) would be to get a new hatch,and just put the wing on there

great job get rid of the nameplate asap and tell her to wax her car!! or get it buffed

 

[97 GSX 97]

If she HAS to have her name on there just get a clean little vinyl cut and place it on a rear quarter window or something.

I hope you sprayed sum primer on those rust spots while you had the bumper off as well

 

[blackGSX2g]

Did you buy those brackets pre-cut like that?

 

[miniturbo23]

I say you leave the wing on.. are you gonna change the front too?

yes they were, they were only $4.25 at Home Depot,and i bought 3,and ended up only useing 2. and i got a small box($4) of self tapping screws. they worked PERFECT!

I say you leave the wing on.. are you gonna change the front too?

She lOVES the Big GSX wing and i already have it sanded,primed,wet sanded,and ready for paint

And no,she wants to keep the front, i peronaly LOVE the 97 talon front bumpers

tell her to wax her car!! or get it buffed

its gettin ready to go in for paint,so ill have to start prep'in the whole car. i just gotta get the new hatch 1st. so i can put the new wing on.

i found a guy who lives by me,hes partin his talon out, and hes giving me the hatch,window is perfect, for $20!!!!! i couldnt pass it up

and also on Craigslist,theres a guy who has a 96 talon ESI he turbo'd himself,but the motor has a knock ,and he wants to get rid of the car,### he bought a new car. hes sellin it for $700,and i talked em down to $500!!! i just want it for all the parts i can swap off it and put on my GFs talon. like the Leather GSX seats he has in it
