1g Front Bumper Questions

[badabing33a]

I was wondering where i could get a bumper like the one below. i had a 94 talon and it had one exactly like that but red. now i have a 91 talon and i dont really like that style bumper. now the 94 talon i had was not turbo or awd. i can only seem to find pictures of that type of bumper on either a turbo or a awd. the bumper on my 91 talon right now, i never see any like it. the bottom doesnt have a gap or an openning and it just looks odd. thanks.

That bumper won't fit. The lights are rounded . . . I had a 1.8 1993 talon with that bumper and I tried every way to get it to fit without destroying the way it looks. . .

That car is gone. The spoiler would look good with that front bumper you're looking for. I was thinking about putting it on my silver car but I didn't want to bother with it and the whole 1990 shell is probably at the crusher now.

It really is easy to make. You need center and sidepieces froma 1993-1994 T/E/L. You'll have to just cut the side pieces to kind of "meld" into the current sidepieces already on the car. Mix up a little fiberglass resin at a timeand smear it on with a popsickle stick. You don't need the mesh until you get to the original cyclopse light in the original center piece. Just drill a hole right over the original cyclopse and slip in the plug and wire from the 1993 1994 cyclops. It was barely enough wire for it, but it plugs right in to the harness for the original cyclopse. I'm no body man. I might have a rear shot. . . I'll look but in the mean time. Here's another shot to see how farback the second spoiler ends up sitting:

I'm updating this with a correction to my original post and some more information.

In 90-91 the N/T Talon only came with the bumper pictured in post #26 and the OP's avatar.

All turbo Talon models AWD or FWD, had the the other more open style bumper pictured in post #1

From what Matt is displaying only the AWD Eclipses also have this "high performance" bumper option.

The information regarding Talon bumpers was found in a Talon "enthusiast guidebook" brochure that references factory options.

All 90-91 Eclipse and Talon n/t came with the small opening bumper.

All 90 -91 Lasers (turbo and n/a) came with the small opening bumper.

90 GST came with small bumper with lip spoiler.

All 90-91 turbo Talons came with big/turbo bumper(as seen in first post), same with GSX and 91 GST.

seeing all of this body work on the 1g's makes me want to post a picture of mine, but I don't have a camera.....Well if do post it people might flame me for the changes to the hood and spoiler. I used the bump on the stock hood to make a larger hood scoop and mirror it so its symmetrical, the hood isn't quite finished but when it is I should be able to fit an air intake for oil cooling and the inter cooler. My car is N/T right now, but I have a turbo engine that I'm planning on rebuilding and I have the turbo and everything for it. I'll see if I can get a pic posted, Some jack ass kid thought it was a pontiac as if he couldn't see the Mitsubishi symbol.
