Anyone live near junkyard with lots of dsm's?

[Ry's_95tsi]

I am looking to do the eclipse conversion on my 95 talon and I have looked all over the place in state to find a bumper but no luck yet. I was wondering if anyone on here lives near a junkyard that has some dsms and could check for a black 97 up eclipse front bumper cover for me. Let me know if you know of any.
Thanks,
Ryan

if you're hunting junkers try the mitsubishi graveyard check for them in the site sponsers.

for a 95 tsi awd the quater panel is cut differently than that on an eclipse. unlike the first generations.

Mdctalon.. What do you mean?

 

[mdctalon]

here these are two 95 dsms. the black one if off a talon tsi awd, and the red is off an eclipse gst if you look at it, the talon has tail lights that differ from the eclipse in that they are round not pointed.

 

[HighPsi92GST]

true one is round and one is pointy, but if you notice, the bumper is what is diffrent. not really the body line of the car....

 

[pinder91]

True, only the bumper and tails are different. I converted my talon to an eclipse no prob. They are the same. Besides this thread was about the front anyway.

mdctalon is right you can't change bumper and lights on 2g eclipse and talon the rear quarter panels are diffrent had a customer of mine try it the lights will not fit even with the bumper change the talon tail lights aren't as long as the eclipse

 

[iowaboostin]

Very very wrong. I assure all of you the ONLY body difference between 2g talons/eclipse are the front and back bumper, skirts, and spoiler. If you want to swap from a Talon rear to an Eclipse rear, all you need is the bumper and taillights -- the quarter panels are the SAME. To get the Eclipse rear on your Talon, you have to move a bracket however, which isn't much work at all. Since you're talking about your front, all you need is the front bumper and different headlights. All of the 2g Talon headlights are the same as the 95-96 Eclipse, so you will need to buy 97-99 headlights.

no way. that can't be.
I swapped a '92 eclipse tailight assembly and rear bumper cover onto my '90 talon, and it fit perfect.
I also put a front bumper cover from a '90 gsx onto my '90 tsi and it fit dead on.
I alsp had to take the panhard bar from a '91 gs-t and use on my 90 tsi and if the eclipse is 2 inches wider, then it would throw off my rearend geometry, and my rear axle is perfect.

Thank you for digging up this old post to squabble over simply provable facts. It gives me more reason to close it.
