Ok I am getting ready to by a new front bumper b/c i messed mine up a lil bit and I want to keep with the stock look. I have a 2G-a style talon and I was wonder if I could get some imput from all of you out there. I want to get a 2G-b style bumper, I am not completely sure which kind becuase I favor the Eclipse's style, but have a talon.
Do you think it will look okay if I get the Ecpilse style or should I stay w/ the talon?
And if I do get the Eclipse style front should I get the rear too?? :confused:
Thanks for the imput :) :talon:
 
I would stay with the talon Style, most people cant tell the diffrence between the two. When people see a talon TSI they say oooooooooo whats that? when they see a Eclipse GST\GSX they see a GS\RS Rebadged.
 
go with the talon 2gb style. i wish i had a talon 2gb... but i got a 2gb gsx.
 
I would go with the 97-99 eclipse style but obviously everyone has there own opinion. The later talon bumpers are agressively shaped but the giant eagle on them is disgusting. Plus they have those "lines" on them that continue on to the doors and into the rear which your car doesn't have so it may look wierd. I've seen many 95-96 talons w/ just an eclipse FRONT bumper and it looks GREAT. Really know one will know if your car is "mis-matched" but they'll say it looks great.
Just some info in case you're looking for a eclipse bumper: I wanted one for a good price that WASN"T fiberglass cause most replicas are. You can go used but i got a 97-99 style bumper replica that is polyurethane and brandnew for $145 shipped to my door. I might be able to give you the guys info if you want it, PM me. Not sure if hes still selling them and at what price though.
Also Good projectors can be found on ebay, mine dont leak and look awesome (the black headlight housings ,black foglight bezel trim and black lip spoiler look great w/ talons black roof)
 
ill tell you what i was going to do, but i havent done it yet because i dont have money and i want to make my car faster. i was going to get a talon 2gb front bumper and put it on my car, but i was going to shave the giant eagle thing in the front and shave off those lines that flow onto the doors. thats what i was going to do, and id like to see it dont by someone.

What lines that flow into the doors? The nose strakes fade out entirely by the back of the bumper, and they are on the exact same line that the sideskirts/doorcaps are on on the rest of the 2gs.


I think the 97 nose and even the tail would look good in combo with 95-96 talon sideskirts, or 95-99 Eclipse skirts.
I think 97tsiawd has a 95 with converted nose wing and tail but original sideskirts instead
of strakes.

BTW a shopped pic of a shaved 97 nose on my black talon... Food for thought eh?
