Eclipse to Talon Conversion Questions

[2GbTalonGuy]

I got my emblem off JNZ also. It's a lot for a piece of plastic, but really completes the look on the front bumper.

Finally got the skirts on... Rear bumper and side strakes next...

Nice man! looks good!

That's about right. Paid $60 for mine at the dealer a few years ago. Those emblems are never cheap.

Mine was $67 after taxes and shipping. It should be here soon.

That it does.

This and rims will be the only way to tell our cars apart. Unless you find a set. They're hella hard to find, let alone in good condition. Then you have to try to find brackets that aren't rusted to shit too.

Guess what I just bought Corey

Foggers?

Good luck with the swap

 

[TheFallenJosh]

Foggers?

yessir! For $50! They look reallllly clean, good brackets, with the plug ins and everything. Should be here next week!

I also had a tire blow out last night... That really sucked brand new tires too...

You need to keep the two tone black and green. I love it!!! Whens the custom molded rear bumper getting put on?

 

[007jimmy]

Its gonna be more of a PITA then I thought. Ill need them off the car and side by side to truely see if it can be done. If not then the talon middle reflector is gonna get shaved and paint matched. I do like the black and green theme. When i get it all together then ill make the decision on the final paint job. The black roof is a must though.

It looks really good, I can't wait until its finished! I'm as excited about yours as I am about mine .

So if I've got Talon chassis wiring, I could just swap that and not have to worry about rewiring the tail lights to anything?

 

[007jimmy]

im not possitive but from what ive read that isnt exactly gonna work because the tail light harness comes from under the dash and uses a different relay then the eclipse. it soulds alot easier to just cut the flasher wire off the eclipse relay and wire in the resistor.

 

[Blurred Talon]

Yea but if you change the complete harness (I mean the WHOLE thing) it should work in theory.

I ask because my next shell will likely be a Spyder swapped to Talon stuff.

Will not work with a Spyder. You would have to rewire the tails just like I did and everyone that has a talon Spyder has done. The main body harness is not even close to the same for a hard top and a Spyder.
Spyder has 4 power windows,2 top motors,top ecu,ect in the main harness.

 

[Nicklepage1010]

this is coming along great, Subd.

 

[TheFallenJosh]

Quick question guys. How long does JNZ tend to take on shipment times? My order was placed like last Monday and it has said preparing to sip since the 5th. Order said shipment in like 3-7....

Yea, its just not that easy unfortunatley . But a talon spyder is not something you see everyday so its well worth the effort.

I also cant comment on JNZs shipping time as i live within driving distance of them.

 

[Nicklepage1010]

I ordered foglight bezels from them and they were literally there within 5 days.

Well bugger. Ah well, thankfully the harness I'm doing for my Talon can be easily rewired and added too.

Well you should drive up there and be like hey yo whats up with Josh's order? He can't finish his conversion until you guys send him that emblem!

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

It takes some time for JNZ to get that emblem because they order them from a warehouse and have it shipped to them. Then they turn around and ship it to you. So be patient my friend.

Nice find of he foggers BTW.

We have to hit the car again, it was so hot last night the paint dried super fast.
And I found this emblem at the junkyard, it came off a summit wagon. I really want to find a way to make it a belt buckle, its like the perfect size.

Looks much better. But the paint does need to be evened out.

 

[FLASH1970]

Looks good so far.

Oh I know. We sanded it down and redid it this morning before I went to work. It looks really good. I putting the emblems on when I get home and painting the letters on the sideskirts red probably tomorrow.
