Go with the eclipse or even better 97-98 Talon since you own a Talon :thumb:


He has a point. I would love to have a 97-98 talon tsi myself. I think Im gonna try to steal Franks 98 :shhh: I know the deal you are in and I say the later clipse front end. By the way, the ps fmic looks good. Gives you something to look forward to. :thumb:
 
i see a lot of ppl with the 97-99 eclipse have that lip on the bottom...where do I get it whats it called and is there a cheaper version than the 300 dollar one?
 
Lets just say ebay has a number of cheap stuff LOL. but try there u might find somthing i bought a wing from there turbo one too. for 80+ship which total was 95. so yeha. :thumb:
 
i love the stocker bumper but if air flow is really your concern i think we can all agree the first car would get alot more to FMIC

where as a 97 talon nose will get a lot more airflow anywhere, side mount or front. is got a bigger "Mouth" than the 97, and the side nount opening is way bigger and flows a lot better imo.

that 97 eclipse looks ok b/c it has a front mount, but is a lot more $$$ than just replacing the bumper skin, and would not look as good without it.

Either way you'll have to convert the fogs to the appropriate one.
