ok I thought his car was darker blue

In his profile he says his car is an eclipse the picture has talon badging

His car is painted one of those colors that changes in the light really well. In bright light it will look almost silvery blue. At sunset/sunrise it turns really deep blue.

I don't seen any Talon badging on it... I'll have to take a closer look tonight... slowoldpoop (Rich) is my next door neighbor.

Do you own a DSM? I think if you did you could answer your own question.




(ie Was there ever a talon that came from the factory with a talon symbol on the b-pillar?)


PS. The answer is no.

Lethal_VR4 took to many pain pills I think.

Elvenhome21: That's a One Lap of America badge on the b-pillar.

Morphius: who ever said that the emblem had to be stock, people do put decals on their car. beside this emblem looks pretty close from that photo if you don't know that it was "One Lap of America"

Tht's my car, a 1990 Eclipse GSX, being driven by the previous owner.

He ran it at Road America in 2005, blew a turbo gasket, melted a bunch of stuff, and didn't know how to fix it. We took it home, Mike the Mechanic fixed everything that was wrong with it, and I bought it.

The car was built for and ran the 2003 One Lap, and had been through two other owners when I bought it. It still sports the One Lap sticker because it is a badge of honor for the car.

Ya never know...it might run One Lap again, perhaps in 2007.

Sorry for being short in my prior post. Just hit me wrong that you would assume it's a talon because of a non factory talon looking sticker on the B pillar.

You can tell it's an eclipse by the wing. The Eclipses lack the mount holes for a talon wing. Highly unlikely they would go through the trouble to install a talon wing.

i am still new to knowing exact differences between talon and eclipses, i only have one eclipse and it was rolled when i bought it so the top part of the car is completely messed up. The rest of the cars are talons (at least the 92 and up ones)
