    • Blue (Eclipse Only): MR707917
    • Gray: MR707916
    • Black: MR712772
  • Low Line Coupe Handles:
    I believe this was a fuel door lever with no tailgate release? These were probably only used on the sub-RS Eclipse and the Talon base (sub-ESi).

    • M5x16 Screw (2 quantity required): MF453093*
      * MF453093 is a black screw. The gold colored one shown here was removed from my car and appears to be identical to MF453093, except for the color... I am not certain it is OE, but I think it might be, so I showed it.
