Pics of front end conversion

[eclipsh]

So was putting wheelie bars on a honda hatchback back in the day.. Then it hit mid 9's all motor in a 1.6 sohc vtec engine.. Doing that was mocked in the community, until he dropped .7 seconds off his 1/4 mile.. Now alot of the big boys do it on their FWD cars.. Its about progression.. Its no worse than putting a body kit on a DSM (which I wouldnt do).. Lets say you didnt know it was a DSM.. If that car was driving down the street, AWD, turbo, 350hp, looking exactly like that.. Wouldnt it be dope?

You're comparing apples and oranges. The design still looks unbalanced, nose heavy and just plain off. Look at the lines. I think Avengers are sexy and DSMs are sexy but they don't mix well. The reason the long nose looks good and works on the Avenger is because the roof line and trunk have more visual weight and counterbalance it. The DSM doesn't have that so it just looks like it is about to do a nose dive into the pavement as soon as you hit the brakes. A good body kit keeps that visual weight in mind and keeps that distribution even or enhances it. That Avenger front end might work on the eclipse with the right rear end treatment but as is it just looks like ass to me.

WOW that is ugly. Very ugly and to answer your question, NO it wouldn't be dope. it would be a talon with a ugly conversion with decent power.

Dude, good job...very unique indeed....reminds me of a Chevy Camaro actually....looks good...

 

[byebye_sti]

Looks ugly, hideous, stupid, awkward, dumb, and shitty... Don't do it.

Agreed. WTF

 

[Eagle192]

i agree that it looks ugly in those pics, but i think it would look "hella dope", if the flares werent there and it didnt have 18 inch chrome rims and it was painted another color. Plus it would have a 2gb talon rear end..

i wish someone else had some pics though, cause i really dont wanna make my decision from a pic of a swap that doesn't fit my taste..

 

[casperfast]

. it would be alright if they didnt ruin the renders, and put a useless roof scoop in.

I threw up in my mouth when I saw this

Man i was just thinking of how funny it would be if we all said it looks great..he did the conversion posted pics and we all laughed ...that would suck. Sir that is a negative on that kit. kinda like a girl with a big nose and short legs.

Very well put, +1 on what he said

-1 on NO ONE even reading or paying attention. The OP didn't do this mod. He asked about it someone else posted pictures of someone who did it and that's it. I think we have one of the nicest stock body's period next to supra's skylines and rx7's but I don't think it's ugly just not my cup of tee. Half the people commenting have eithe cookie cutter body kits or stock body's with carbon fiber hoods because someone convinced you they do it in japan (JDM style) so you should do it too

 

[97spydergs]

^^^ I agree with you, leave it stock. 2gb talons are the best.

 

[jES(i)se]

about the only reason this would be a good idea is to have more room for a turbo set up. swapping on an avenger front will give you about 2.5" more room in the engine bay. other than that, i think it looks horrible but that could just be the way the guy did it with the ugly flares and such.

Man reading these posts made my day. I haven't cried laughing like in a long time. Keep the comments coming especially those saying it looks like ass because it does

All that car could use now is neon underglow, an airplane wing, and some spinners.

Don't forget supra taillights and lambo doors.

Woooo I like the supra tailight conversion

 

[Eagle192]

woah, you guys are going to far..


so i guess you guys are saying that a flat black 98 talon(w/hiogh rise spoiler), with an avenger front with cleared out headlights and turns, black gsx rims, lowered 2 inches, with red-out taillights, would look bad....please, i think that would look pretty hot

 

[Car_guy_09]

If you like it do it, Half the guys on here are pricks if you even mention changing the way your car looks. I think it would be kinda cool.

 

[crimsondragon]

If the Eagle Talon made to 3g version, it would look like this.

says the guy with ugly headlight film and retarded cuts in his hood
the avenger bumper doesnt look bad in itself, its the whole rear of the dsm that makes it look bad

 

[Krazy_Kreationz]

honestly I like it for originality, but my dislikes are due to it looking uneven. Other then that I give props to whoever owns it for wanting to be different! It tears me up when everyone rags on people who dont want to do the same stupid shit as everyone else....I am not a follower, so when I get done with my motor I am going to change the looks a bit on my talon just because I want to drive down the road and know that oh his car looks just like mine... or theres my car... screw that...

 

[EDM95]

I hate fiberglass body kits man, they should make plastic body kits.
if that guy wants to be different then cool man, you have to respect all the body work that he put into that car at least he did something new.

No it wouldnt. The conversion I doubt has anything to do with extending the rad support. Its just fenders,bumper, hood and headlights. It should still have exactly the same room.
