[RESOLVED] Eclipse/Talon endcap difference?

[chico904]

Anyone know if the the 2GB eclipse endcaps (small square-part) are the same as the Talon endcaps other than possibly having the little chrysler logo?

not even close. the eclipse skirts stick out a whole lot more than the talons.

What?

2GB Talon's DO NOT have side skirts. At All! Its basically a Eclipse RS Body. 2GA Talon's have what I think to be the nicest side skirts of the DSM's, and alot of people swap to them. 2GA Eclipse side skirts are usually two tone. However the 2GB Talons, not having a side skirt, did have a door trim...

i thought it was a given that 2gb talons did not have skirts, which is why i did not specify.
on a side note, i wouldnt mind having those edm tails off that 2ga eclipse.

So you are saying no? Because in the pics, they look the same.

Wait what? What looks the same? Your asking about 2gb talon's vs 2gb eclipse's... 2GB Talons DO NOT have "End Caps" or what everyone else calls Side Skirts. 2GA Talons have Side Skirts, which were displayed in that very first photo. 2GB's came with 0 skirts, but came with a strange door trim to match the front and rear bumpers. Only 2G DSM's that came with side skirts were 2ga Eclipse and Talons, and 2gb Eclipse's.

And if your inquireing about the 2ga Talon Side Skirts, No! They are NOTHING like 2ga or 2gb eclipse skirts. As you can obviously see in the photos I provided.

Guys did you read my original post at all? As stated in my original post, I am referring to the END CAPS not the door caps, not the sideskirts, just the END CAPS. I wanted to know if the talon endcaps (95-96) are the same as the eclipse 97-99 endcaps, or if they are more like the eclipse 95-96 eclipse ones. In the picture it looks like they might be the same as the 95-96 eclipse ones, but I am not sure.

the talon door caps wrap smoothly around to the bottom of the car, whereas the 2gb eclipse caps flare out near where the bottom of the door is.

Thanks bro, that was I was looking for.

Ok what the hell is an end cap?

 

[Jeff99GS]

NO

The Talon 95-96 Side Skirts or End cap will NOT match up to any of the Eclipse side skirts END OF STORY.

Hes referring to the elbow that sits on the rocker directly behind the front wheel. It attaches to the bottom of the fender. I believe he had one damaged in a blowout if I recall reading a previous post.

The caps will fit. They just look like ass. The talon skirts are much sleeker and follow the body line as opposed to the eclipse skirts. I am still getting used to mine from the swap

 

[IHeartMyHonda]

which side did you damage? i believe i have a couple sets of 2g skirts laying around. also, do you still have 2ga skirts, or have you converted?
