Okay, I have a question about body kits. I have a 1995 Eagle Talon ESi and all the sites and shops I've been to say that a normal body kit will require some sort of modification for a talon. I was wondering what is this modification? Do you have to drill holes and mount brackets? Or is it like shaving down the kit in certain parts or what? I wasn't sure and wanted to ask before purchasing one. Thanks for the responses.

Also, There is a slight squeaking/metal on metal grinding sound that comes from the back right whenever I turn left. Only when I turn left, if I put on the gas or the brake or coast. Any ideas on what it could be?
 
im not an expert since im not really into body kits, but my friend just put one in his car and he had to drill the holes on the front and rear bumper. on the side skirts he just had to trim a little bit off.
also make sure that the one you order is for a 95 so that you dont have to replace your headlights
 
it all really depends no 2 kits are the same you could get a blitz for example from 2 companies and they could fit completely differant from each other i got the drift kit for my 1G talon and i had to do alot of cutting,fiberglassing, and filling to get it to fit. so if you get one that fits fight out the box your very lucky.
 
Well, the rear bumper will obviously have to be modified to fit the talon tails since the two cars have different tails.

Usually the parts do not come pre-drilled so that needs to be done.

All body kits need some work to make them fit perfect. All fiberglass kits I should say.
