97-98 Front Piece

Does anyone know if a 97-98 Talon front bumper easily interchange with a 95-96 model, without changing the headlights and/or hood???

The headlights and hood are exactly the same for the early/late 2G Talons. As far as I know, it is a direct bolt on.

Sweeeeeet, I think that the late 2G front bumpers look just as good as a body kit front would, especially with a grill behind it, and I like the eagle too

My freind did it and it had some gap at the inner headlights and the hood didnt exactly match up but like a 1/4 inch if your lookin for perfection there ya go but do it if ya wanna . A new bumper cover for my car was $345 so i just repainted my own!

the headlights are not the same size - 95/96's are larger - 97-99's are smaller. if you are attempting to put a 97-99 front on your 95/96 then you are going to have to get the newer headlights or cut the front end to size (which i personally wouldn't do). the part that is smaller is the inner points - everything else matches up.

You must be thinking of Eclipses. Talons never changed their headlights(thank god). All 95-98 Talons have the same headlights.
