I think a good market in aftermarket parts amongst the DSM community could start with simple recreations of exterior body parts. Parts for the Talon are becoming scarce. I have been going on a hunt for months for a "End Cap" on the passenger side of the side skirts/ground effects/rocker molding. Another almost impossible thing to find is a 97-99 Eagle talon Front bumper. I know that some sites to carry this, but at a price of 400-500 bucks is just a little bit ridiculous. A brand new BMW bumper cover costs 700 and has numerous electronic components that go with it. Why should a front bumper with nothing but a aggressive mold be priced so high? We are kind of getting ripped on that one. Another thing that I think everyone can agree on is a Aftermarket Valve Cover in production that's not going to cost an arm and a leg. Lets face it the OEM ones leave no room for error on torque specifications and are not really the kind of thing you like to take off when it could possibly be a couple month long search at the local scrap yards (Some people don't have 150 bucks to toss down the drain, not every dsmer has the luxury of having another car, but they are a dsmer nonetheless.) It would be really nice to have a organized easy to scroll catalog that is current and up to date online. I have been to several places and the layouts have me worried to spend my money because a lot of their "online inventory" is no longer there. Forgive me if I am not aware of any other sites that may have this. If so I would really like to know. Searching for parts are often times a major headache, seems like I have to go on a search for hours before I find any solid leads.
Ugly mold too for the talon bumper
BTW hyundai valve covers are better.
