Hey everyone....

I purchased a Front sensei kit from a friend....great condition, but it was off of a 96....I have a 99......

The Interior lip where the fender and bumper bolt together is off by 3/4 of an inch on both right and left fenders..... Its fiber glass....so when I push it all the way to match the holes....the outside is not flowing...

When the exterior is flush....the lip on the inside doesn't even come to the edge of the hole in the fender so i can't re-drill new holes in the bumper.....

I was thinking of clamping them together....I am using zip ties right now....I need help....and I don't want to go to a body shop!

So.....for anyone that has had this problem.....and found a solution please respond!!! Thanks

Your 99 headlights are different from a 96. You'll have to get 95-96 Eclipse or 95-99 talon headlights.

And then you could get a 99 Talon front, which looks as sweet as any aftermarket kit and is guaranteed to fit perfectly!
 
There will be a gap at the inner part of the headlights. As for the lip not lining up, the outside is the only part that needs to line up. If there isnt holes, drill them. Just line it up, drill the holes, and put in bolts.

Actually....I did some research into it, my friends car is a 97.....so everything fits perfectly except the lip on the inner fenders on both sides......so....

I'm thinking about just drilling new holes.....yes? no?

I have no freakin idea
