You will need the 2gb headlights to fit the front bumper on. The rear bumper should bolt right up with a little modification of the reverse lights. If you have the 3 piece low rise spoiler you'll have to weld some holes closed on either side of the trunk and a couple in the center of the trunk. Then drill new holes for the hoop spoiler.

Yes the side skirts and everything will fit fine....but you need new headlights. The 1997-1999 eclipse had different headlights. The front bumper WILL NOT fit on unless you get the 1997-1999 headlights.

Do you see the difference? Look at the inner corners of the lights.



The first picture is a 1997-1999 (2GB)



The second picture is a 1995-1996 (2GA)

The 2gb headlights are just what Jeff99GS said. The 97-99 headlights are more rounded on the in the inside corner. Where the 95-96 headlights have more of a point. You could probably get the headlights off that car if they're still there.

If you have a 96 with 96 bumpers then you have the 2ga headlights. You need the 2gb ones
