I'm considering getting a Eclipse front bumper to replace my Talon's front bumper, and I was wondering -- is there any thing I need to get, to make sure it will fit? I just want the bumper to fit, nothing more, nothing less. A 97-99 bumper with 96 Talon headlights.

Thanks in advance :thumb:

you need 97-99 eclipse headlights

YOu don't need 97+ headlights. You will be fine with your headlights there will just be a little gap. But other than that it will bolt right up.

no

there would be a gap if he had 97+headlights with a 2ga eclipse/talon front bumper

he has too much headlight if he goes with the 97 bumper

Are you sure I thought I remember seeing a pic of L2R car and there was a gap when he put on his 97+ front bumper.
 
that's right the older style headlights were wider. My friend put 97 headlights on a 96 bumper and had a 1" gap on each side ... the other way around it wouldn't work.
 
do i have to worry about fenders? should i get eclipse fenders?

looks very nice ... but I never understood. All you people that do the talon to eclipse conversion ... why not just buy the eclipse to begin with :confused:
 
Well , I bought the Talon new in 95 so that eclipse model(97-99) was not out yet and also eclipse was not available in Canada...

some of us talon owners are having trouble finding bumpers that are in good condition...

If you could buy a nice Talon for cheap, why pass it up..
 
I have a 95 Eclipse. What would I have to do to get one of those bumpers to fight right?
