2ga 2gb 95 96 97 98 99 conversion bumper [merged]

[SpYYder]

its extremely simple... if you can't do this you don't really need to drive a DSM.

 

[ghettosmurf]

wel, the reason why i sent it was so that you could see what it would end up looking like, you did ask if anyone has done it. If i can remember i thought it showed the process. I could be wrong though thats just what i thought. Oh and his s/n is RedTurboEclipse....

i think the new rule should be 'all tech articles must read before starting a thread'

I congratulate you.
Out of every person that posted in this thread only one took the time to find the information and link him to it.

I hear this on a lot of boards that have been around a while. The older members get tired of the same old posts over and over again, but the newer members want to "talk" about it rather than search. I find it sort of interesting really.

While I have been the guy that has said, "Search first buddy!", another option might be for people to ignore the post that aren't interested in the subject (that is what the subject lines are for) so the new guys can have fun participating in a thread the same way the long time members did "in the day". Or just be really cool, like the one guy did and help him out anyway.

Just a thought.

and i find it completely fine if there is a problem or new question. For something as common as the 2gb conversion, i just don't see the need for this thread. Plus, i think an answer was the goal, not conversation. He could have gotten his answer WAY quicker searching. Then we'd all be happy.

At least the tech articles - people spend good time on that, not looking through them first is an insult to those who prepared them.

I am picking up a bumper off ebay, as well as headlights, foglights, etc. etc. Anyway, was looking at this auction, and I see it includes the corner lights, and a "support". Anyone know what this peice is? It's the peice below the bumper cover in the picture. Don't know if I will need this... converting from my 95 talon. Any info in the next 20hrs is appreciated... thanks!

That looks like the actual bumper...the piece that sits behind the bumper cover.

You already have 1 on your car so you don't really need it.

 

[95tsiawd_86]

i am interested in converting to a 97-99 front end. what is involved? is it as easy as buying a kit? help please

 

[Spanky7829]

U need eclipse taillights,and 97-99 headlights.

 

[95tsiawd_86]

so just the headlights if im doin just the front end. And do i just have to look around for a used front on ebay or wherever?

 

[blackGSX2g]

Yep, just the headlights. Ebay has good deals on bumpers, but if its not close to you, you get raped on shipping. You could also try local junkyards and dsmtrader.com. They always have people parting out their cars for good deals. Once you get the bumper, its as easy as taking the bolts off of the old bumper (careful, they tend to get really rusty and break off) and bolt the new one on. I took the whole assembly off when I did mine, and it made it alot easier. That included the bumper, bumper support, and the bumper frame that has the 2 prongs that bolt into the frame. Great improvement!

 

[Lunch_Box]

Look on here or DSM trader there are always people selling there 97+ front bumper and head lights. If not try ebay for projectors. AS for installation it is a simple as take the old stuff off and put the new stuff on in its place.

the black plastic thats kind of attached to the radiator will match with the new bumper so you dont have to take that off, and it bolts right up to the new one. i just did the conversion about a month ago. lots more attention since im in a town of 2000 . (gallery pics)

 

[95tsiawd_86]

thanks for the help guys. doesnt sound to difficult.

 

[eclipse0508]

i have a 95gs that was in a wreck last week and im waiting to get the insurance money. I want to get the 97-99 blitz kit and some 97 style projector headlights. After i buy these parts is that all i need to make them fit??? should they bolt up to the stock bolt locations??? thanks for your help.

 

[WhiteCloud]

Yep

 

[eclipse0508]

thanks man.............i just wanted to make sure that i had all the parts i need. I am considering the blitz kit, i will post pics when i am done.

 

[WhiteCloud]

Actually man, I misread your question--the Blitz bumper and headlights are all you need for the front end conversion. I am uncertain of exactly which lights are used where in the blitz rear bumper. You may need 97+ reverse lights...

 

[Bigglesworth87]

You will need the 97-99 reverse lights in order to have the complete look. Post pics when you are done!

 

[iowaboostin]

I found some 97-99 reverse lights (those circle ones, not the 95-96 half moons) on eBay for $35 about a half a year ago. If you can't find them on there or www.dsmtrader.com you can buy them from a local dealership for somewhat cheap I imagine.

 

[hotT0Male]

is there anything wrong with buying one of of unpainted bumpers off of ebay? i read somewhere that it isnt worth the money.
