4858, Problem with body kit Posted by Speedracer0891, May-30-01 04:38 PM
I'm getting a kit that is made for the 95 Eclipse. I think you all know the difference in the rear bumper from the Eclipse and the Talon. My problem is the bumper off the body kit has the license plate in the middle of the bumper. The Talon's plate sits where the middle part of the eclipse rear tail lights is. I don't know how I will place the after market bumper with out trying to convert my rear light and mid section to eclipse like spec! Does any one have any advice (if you can understand all of this).

Sorry, but you must convert your talon rear end to an eclipse rear end in order to use a 95 eclipse rear body kit bumper. You need the eclipse tailights, reverse lights and some other parts. Someone has done this and has a list of it on this board...

The erebuni shogun kit has a rear apron, i think it fits a talon, i believe it goes right on the bottom of the stock rear end. I don't know for sure so don't hold it against me. http://www.erebunicorp.com Deze

Yeah that kit on that web site will fit. you just need to make sure you have the right tape for that fucker. Becasue if it letgoes will will have a craked or turn bummper because it will only be held on by 2 screws in the wheel whell.

LAST EDITED ON 01-Jun-01 AT 08:57 PM (PST)$1200 for the conversion? that sounds like way to high if all you need is eclipse taillights and reverse lights , and of course a bumper, especially since all the eclipse parts fit right on to the talon
