Also got 98 talon front and rear bumpers and 99 GSX 10 spokes for it ....but they won't go on until spring when they get sprayed to match (bumpers) and shoe'ed in summer rubber (rims).... :thumb:

We were actually looking into doing the same for Julias, but the hatch is a very good look as well. May have to steal your idea on that :p

I'm liking it too. I'd take that black stripe down accross the bumpers as well when you paint them. Nice look though.

Edit: OR I'd take the back lip of the trunk and paint it red to get a more clear top/bottom division so it doesn't look "bolt-on accident repairish" which is always one of my big concerns. ;)

More edit: Here's a bad PS image of it done that way.

The best thing about the 2 tone on the Talons is that it follows the body line on the car, now it doesn't. Almost looks like you needed a new hatch and couldn't paint it. To each his own I suppose.

I agree, I don't care for it, It would look good if you did that to a black car.

This was a PS done for me for my car when i was going to paint it all white and leave the top black. But I have a new prettier color in store ^_^

Rims+drop will make it look alot better. Right now it looks cheesy and not very appealing.

well unfortunately people around here have to put up with something called winter and thing called snow, so no point in lowering and putting new rims on 3 days away from November....

i never liked the talon 2 tone color crap. it looks kinda cobby right from the factory. all one color looks sweet and not like someone primed the roof with black and the saucer spoiler and forgot to basecoat it. i have a 98 eclipse gst and a 96 talon tsi awd and the talon its agtetting a 97-99 conversion goodbye ghey headlights, taillights, bumpers and spoiler. i just dont think that th talon has the mean looking stance. i have both my cars parked next to each other and the eclipse looks like it wants to eat the scared talon!!! LOL anyways good job on something different.
 
Ya i dont like the 2 tone either. I cant wait to repaint the roof of my car

If you painted the end of the hatch red like the car it would look alot better. That way the hood, and the "bubble" as I call it would be black but the end would match the car, also that black lip wouldn't hang over in the back, which is what I think really makes it sort of tacky.
 
Definitely not my thing... to each his own though. Looks like you made the car from junkyard parts, like the ones you see after accidents that have 3-4 diffferent colored parts on their car :rolleyes: :toobad:

I'd at least paint the trunk and spoiler.... IMO looks much better like that.

eeeeeehhhh i have yet to see one single talon with painted stock spoiler in any color other than black......that is how they came from factory..... :toobad:

Why paint the trunk? will look like every other talon with CF hood.......some people may not like it but at least it stands out rather then blend in...

I have a red 2ga and was thinking about doing that. I actually posted a thread no too long ago asking for opinions and pictures of what it may look like. I dont know if its because your not lowered with rims or what but i don't like it very much. I think maybe its the 2gB talon spoiler that I dislike. Here is 2 pictures of my car as of yesterday. I dont think it would look bad with a cf hood and cf hatch. I definately think that spoiler destroys the look IMO.

That rear hatch does look weird, but I cannot think of anything to make that change from red to black without it looking retarded. I'd leave it like that. I wouldnt have noticed if someone hadnt said anything.
