questions on bodykits

[97eagletalonesi]

i dont see body kits for talons i like the look of the blitz but i think those are very common. even though there is only a handfull of eclipes where i live. i think one guy has it. but any ways the front and sides should be a direct bolt on but what about the rear, there are differant do they have kits for those. or what. just couris so when i am ready to the kit but im first gonna put my money on performance.

i may be corrected here but the sides should be a direct bolt on, the front will be too so long as it is for a 95-96 eclipse, a 97-99 would probably require 97-99 headlights from an eclipse (2gb) to fit properly..you could trim and glass the fit to work either way, but for bolt on you'd be looking at changing lights (beware of bodykits that say 95-99 becuase there are definately 2 different stlyes of headlight during that era). the rear of an eclipse body kit would probably require new tails (and center piece) for an eclipse to fit properly.

plus no body kit is going to be a "bolt-and-go" fit

There are several "Brand name" body kit's, which will require MINOR modifications (they provide a 95% fitment guarantee). AeroGear, Buddyclub2, Bomex, etc... You are general going to pay DOUBLE (atleast) for a quality body kit, but trust me, its worth it.

I had a 95 Talon, which I put a blitz kit on. The front bolted up perfectly, as I ordered the kit with the 95 style headlights (they are the ones without the angled edge). Sides just bolt on, and the rear was sort of a bi***. You need eclipse tail lights (bolt right on), and you need to use a few "L" shaped brackets to mount the rear bumper. Honestly, my body kit was shit, and the rear never fit had a gap underneath the tail lights, and even though most people couldn't notice it bothered teh hell out of me.

Save your money, Bodykits are somewhat of a waste.... the 97+ (talon or eclipse) look will grow on you

well this will be down the road so maybe theyll come up with something for us talon owners.
