do they? I've seen an company listing the Eclipse bodykits for the Talon.
 
to answer your question yes they do they have the same mounting points as an eclipse. now to go into detail on it you will run into a couple of issues 1. your rear tail light assembly will no longer be able to be used. hense you will have to either a. buy someones used eclipse tail lights or an aftermarket version. also 97-99 reverse lights will be required. as for headlights not 100% sure but i believe you should be ok depending on the model year if its 95-96 youll need to upgrade to the 97-99 headlights for the front apron to fit. also if planning on installing a fiberglass kit beware that the bumper reinforcements will have to be removed to install the new pieces. thats about all the information i have hope that helps. :thumb:
 
From what I've seen just make sure you get them to say that it will bolt direct on (if your talking about front/rear bumpers.) from my understand there is a small differ in the bolt-up places because I've seen on some sites they said "Needs prep work to fit Talon/Laser"

And we all know about the differ in the 95/96 reverse lights as to 97/99...

So just e-mail them if your going to order and make sure you ask them if it will bolt onto your car year, and model down to the T.

That way if ya have any problems and do have to do prep work complain and maybe you'll get some change back!

Either way if it doesn't fit (Which meaning the bolt holes will be off) You'll be adding a new bodykit to your car and you are going to find out all about what maintain'ing a body is like... :thumb:

Don't be scared to drill holes in it - Kitty-Hair does wonders.

Hope I helped? Maybe? ... Sorry. :|
 
my talon has the full conversion, front bumper fit fine, i removed the bumper support for weight purposes, so not sure if it would have fit or not, but i think it wouldnt have. on the rear bumper, as stated about, you have to have the tail lights from an eclipse of course, new holes will have to be drilled for the lights to fit, also may have to use some washes on some of the studs on the tail lights for spacing issues. as for the brackets on the rear bumper, you will either have to fab some brackets, or else drill out the welds on the old ones and move them up just the right amount and tack them back on, just making sure u put on the tail lights and get the spacing right or make a mold for it. other issue as mentioned above is the reverse lights, i just used some nice looking over fog lights that fit right into the holes and looked sexy. i got some pics if you want to pm me, i can get them to you tomorrow.
 
heres the back of my eclipe conversion.. Cant even tell the difference but as u can see u need new lights.

i put them on there, put a few screws through them in various places to hold them in place, and used fiber bond to mold it all onto the car, then i just took out all the screws and put the fiber bond over those holes and stuff. fiber bond is very easy to work with i thought, and they seem to be holding on great. :thumb: i love the white car with the body kit, looks good, dont find many people that keep the white, but i like it!
 
imma just do a 99 eclipse front conversion looks so nice on a 95 talon plus just gotta get 99 eclipse foglights and headlights..... how much you think it will cost me too do it with installing and painting everything?
