1ga is the 89-91, 1gb is the 92-94. body styles.

Look at a 1990 eagle talon bumper\tail lights, and look at a 1992 bumper\tails.

I took my 1990 and made it look like the 1992. If you search 1ga swap on this forum you will find lots of good info on it! :)
 
You should take a pic from an angle. Right now it looks like any other 1gb. I want to see how it matches the 1ga sides. Since the sides are also different. I have always wondered hows this rear end would look on a 1ga. Everything looks lined up pretty good :thumb:
 
I did this years ago, converting my 92 Eclipse rear to the Talon bumper and lights. Real simple to do when you swap the turn signal relays out, one of the only body mods I did.
 
I also did it on my 92 GSX:

The only tricky part was the brake lights, which would turn on the turn signals :). I think that 92 flasher relay might have done the job, but I didn't have one around, so I just cut a brake line signal feed to the flasher relay and that stopped brake lights.

Another annoyance was the "fast flashing" turn signals (as if I had a blown light bulb). Again, Talon flasher might have solved this annoyance, but I just got used to it :).
