ok i wasnt gonna do a body kit but i think im gonna and go with the blizt kit just because i like it. ok they say the talons need special fitment what needs to be modifid to fit this to my car. what is the differance between fiberglass and polyurathane.or should i do a complete eclipes conversion which would be easyier. thanks. i did not search so if there is a theard let me know. i just dont have time to search right now.
 
The talon requires special fitment in the way that you will need eclipse taillights because the back is made for an eclipse. Fiberglass is easier to cut and repair if it breaks, but isn't as flexible as urethane. If you buy urethane and it doesn't fit, your phucked, but if you buy fiberglass and it doesn't fit, fine just trim it. And about doing the eclipse conversion, you may as well pick up a set of 97+ eclipse headlights and some taillights, if would look alot better IMO, but definately keep the 97+ talon spoiler then you'll be slammin'. Good luck! BTW you will also need reverse light housings.
 
on the front i would only go with urethane, more flexable and won't crack like fiberglass. i don't see why a good body shop could not modify the urethane to work (up to a point). my factory front ended up with a pretty big tear (don't ask) in it on the pass. side to the outside of the ic inlet, the shop i took it to repaired it better than factory. as a matter of fact, it looks better than the factory side today.

ok. you actually like the spoiler on the 97+ i sure dont but well see when the time comes there having a sale at andysautosport 360 bucksfor fiberglass and 601 for the urathane the fiberglass is in my buget. how much would i expect to pay for the headlight and tails from the 97+ eclipes
