Hey, I am not typicaly one to say something like this, but I am torn between converting my car to the 97-98 talon look, or converting to to look like an eclipse(or just trading for an eclipse.

Now, putting money issues aside, I am looking for what people think would look better. It's not that big of a deal for me, but I am just interested in getting some opinions. Vote on the poll and make any comments.

Oh, and please keep this civil. I would not like my thread to turn into a flame war.
 
the 97-99 eclipse look is awsome but it is all over the place,
thats y i chose the 97-98 talon(i love the bodykit it comes with)
 
I'd definitely go with the 97-99 Eclipse front bumper and throw some grills in there. Don't know if you've considered this but what about a full blitz body kit with no spoiler. It's mad cheap, would be cheaper than brand new stock body (from the dealer) and it's a body kit. Some people think the blitz kit is overused but its highly underused compared to any stock eclipse/talon look. And it looks sweet if your car is clean (no decals, vinyl, etc) and wingless. Just don't paint your car green and you won't get made fun of for trying to copy F&F.
 
im stuck in the same position wether to stay with my 95 talon front or to go 97-99 eclipse front end help! haha they both are nice specially if u black out your talon headlights.
 
I voted 97-98 Talon. Because you have a Talon, so it just makes more sense, and for the uniqueness of it. Since I converted my 95 eclipse, I've seen two others in my area, and I live in a small ass town.
 
the 97 nose flows more cleanly with the talon skirts you already have.
if you go eclipse you are going to require a lot more than just a nose and POSSIBLY a rear bumper (the 95 rear is missing only the strakes on the corner and the whoops under the bumper)

you'll need headlights, taillights, reverse lights, nose, rear bumper, adapt rear support to fit eclipse bumper (welder)... you'll probably end up changing your talon skirts o to eclipse skirts as they don't match up...

Well I'd say get a talon nose... job over. If you really want the rear bumper you can add it later.
If you want your lighs to be different, set up the turns to light with the brakes, thats different!
