Next up cosmetically is replacing the muffler with a straight ss 3inch pipe and coilovers.

Also gotta put the lip back on, it will pull the bumper down and straighten out the center where it lifts up a bit.


Thanks for looking!!

Why on earth did you rid that car of the '98 Talon front bumper?!?!?!?!?

Paint looks great, nonetheless.

 

[Detective Coating]

I think it looks good, I would have went wingless though.

 

[bastarddsm]

looks good!

I ditched the 98 talon bumper back in 05. I prefer the 97-99 eclipse bumper and dark housing headlights. Also, my intercooler end tanks aren't symmetrical so it looked weird since the talon bumper showed everything.

I love the wingless look but i don't think it looks right with the talon rear.


Thanks guys!

[Dserge]

Looks pretty good.
How much did it cost?

 

[FLASH1970]

Looks much better.

 

[olmytsi]

$2200

 

[crimsonGST]

for 2200 they should have fixed that bumper.

 

[dsm03]

Pretty Nice! Lower that baby though!!!

 

[DGajre777]

Looks good!

$2200 At Maaco?!?

 

[olmytsi]

I got the prep, best paintjob they offer, clearcoat and body work on the panels that had excessive fade.

 

[19BLACKGST98]

Im about to have to get this done also. I was not happy to see the $2200 price tag though.

 

[olmytsi]

You can pay alot less if you want, they have 4 different paintjob categories. Maaco is known to do soso work so i figured if im going with them, i gotta at least shell out for the best they offer.

Most places i went to wouldn't paint the car for less than 3500-4000.

Essington ave in south philly by all the dealerships in the airport area. It's by where they have all the street racing if that helps.
