If you get a stock bumper get a 2gb bumper but it will require some trimming.

Get on ebay and look for a 97-99 oem style eclipse bumper. It looks nice and clean and with a little trimiing/hacking would fit your fmic well.

 

[khartley]

IMO the best looking bumper on the 2g is the 97-99 style, looks great with a front mount too.

None on this site will suggest anything other than a stock bumper.....so you should really never ask anyones opinion on body styling.

Since you are posting this topic, I'm pretty sure you are looking for something other than a stock bumper. Check out the Stillen bumper: STILLEN : STILLEN Eclipse Body Kits & Aero Components

 

[JEFFREYCASTGSX]

There is absolutely no reason why the oem bumper on a eclipse should be exchanged for another(other than if its a 2ga and your doing a 2gb conversion). Look at cars with bodykits and then look at cars with stock bodys, then compare, and compare again, 95% of the time the stock body will look better. Dont let yourself get influenced by the F&F movies, we already have enough of those people.

Exactly like these guys said, aftermarket body kit bumpers are ugly. Def. stick with what your car originally came with, a 2gb bumper.

2gb all the way man, nothing looks better

 

[tjbiker031]

+1. i love the way the car looks with the 2gb. to me nothing looks better.

97-98 TALON front bumper!!!!! My favorite of all time. I love the 2gb eclipse bumper, but the talons is that much more rare and mean looking.

 

[satal95]

My choice would be stillen front bumper, then 2gb talon bumper(remember you have 2 use 2ga headlights) and then 2gb eclipse bumper. These would be my three favorite bumpers

 

[Jason97GS-T]

2gb bumper all the way

But its your car, so you should look around and find one that you like. Then when you find one see if the GReddy IC will fit with it.

+10 on 2g 97-99 BUMPER nothing will ever look better on an eclipse , no body kits no after markets bumper just the STOCK 97-99 bumper

 

[motozachl]

+1 everyone here will say oem but if your going to go with anything else i would say the drift kit

 

[kevbojunior]

2gb all the way. maybe even a carbon lip to finish it off, thats it.

 

[eclipse-gs-t]

Well i can tell you that having a body kit is just waste of money because you will beat that thing up so quick, that happend to me so i went stock again and it is way better, now if you want a stock 97 front bumper i do have a extraone i did some modification just to make my 18r greddy FMIC fit

 

[klze25200]

def keep it oem and fresh lookin

 

[kmac714]

how would the 2gb look with after market body kit style side skirts though? an back bumper?

Would actually look really good if you add a carbon fiber from lip, like rmdsm makes.

Get an aftermarket oem style 2gb bumper and trim it. It's only $100 - $130. Our bumpers get scratched up a lot even when the car is barely lowered. If you get those fiberglass ones or carbon fiber is going to get cracked if your car is lowered.

 

[Robertm1212GST]

2gb all the way

 

[george1904]

oem bumper that's the best in my opinion. Dsm's don't need any of that other crap

 

[DIMONDSTAR77]

97-98 TALON front bumper!!!!! My favorite of all time. I love the 2gb eclipse bumper, but the talons is that much more rare and mean looking.

AGREED, do a eclipse to talon convert. 2gb eclipse has been done to death. IMO

 

[whiteAWD]

+1 to the 97-98 talon front bumber. it sure looks mean with a front mount behind it!

 

[chico904]

I vote, as with many others, for the 2GB bumper.
