Eclipse to Talon Conversion Questions

[2GbTalonGuy]

Do you have the black center vent and mirror/fog/cruise switch?

Do you have the black center vent and mirror/fog/cruise switch?

Yep, those are all black

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

That's why.

How's the baby coming along bro?

 

[TheFallenJosh]

That's the biggest copycat yet. I had that exact same thing done to my first Talon, circa 2005.

Well..... I hate you..... I tried and failed miserably, mine is looking more and more like yours everyday

How's the baby coming along bro?

Shes getting done, slowly I got one strake piece put on, thyats it so far

Nope? One car has manual locks and windows, and the other is all electric?
Hah won't let this get off topic though!
When are you going to get all your parts painted?

Paint will be done as soon as I get thye rest of the parts which should be like Friday and will go on like Sunday. Then I'll have to sand it and buy a bunch of spray cans

I guess great minds think alike.

Well guys its been a few days. I have prom tomorrow so she won't be getting worked on for a little while. I got my sideskirt door pieces the other day and my rear bumper emblems, center caps, and talon owner's manual are on their way! And I believe I found a good set of the 3G GSX style wheels! But they're in Massachusetts, luckily my sister lives up there and is coming down here soon so maybe she'll be an awesome sister and pick them up for me . I'll probably work on her more Sunday so I'll update then guys!

As soon as I get more money. My wheels will be here next week when my sister comes down, so I need to get those powdercoated and put tires on them before I can't even think about painting it. And you can stop picking on me now!

An eagle and a talon necklace to hang from the rearview mirror.
And a wild eagle lanyard for my keys. So its essentially finished. Still need paint and tires but those won't be done until about mid summer but I'm a broke kid so I'm doing what I can. It will be done somewhat soon, hopefully.

very nice bro, and those are exactly the same rims I saw at the junkyard!

Ill get the center pieces from the rim, for you if I go back, in case you lose 1, you got a spare!

Also love the Eagle!

 

[Rick_4g63]

Yep! That is the 2GA Talon twisty skirts. That piece there was all I had when I started this conversion, now I have the fender caps and I'm trading my eclipse skirts for the door pieces (the top piece as you called it) here this week then I will have everything I need to finish! (well I still need the eagle center caps and gsx wheels but those can go on after)

Lol I meant the top piece as in the fender caps. I "lost" the door panel a few days after I took that pic. Saw the recent pics and it looks clean great job BUT where can I find these parts? I like the twisty skirt look since I havent seen it around here but theyre scarce here I can't find 'em online.

They are pretty tough to find. Keep checking the classifieds on here and call miller import parts every week or so to see if they have any ane in.

 

[007jimmy]

I am embarking on this journey too. I dont see any 2g talons, its all eclipses. These parts are hard to find but not impossible. I just got the full set of 2ga twisty sideskirts. Took nearly 2 months to piece together. The front 2gb bumper took some time to source also. Next is the 2gb rear and side strakes. I wont be pulling my eclipse highrise because i simply feel it just looks better.

 

[ST33LE]

That's pretty cool don't forget to update with painted pictures. Also I love spyders with a clean 2gb talon conversion, its completely different and a rare sight
