72465, Blitz Body Kit 98 Eagle Talon
Posted by 98redtalon, May-21-04 04:15 AM
Now I know the blitz kit is kinda played out, and alot of people don't like it, but I have a friend that is willing to sell me an entire Blitz kit for the 95-99 Eagle Talon for $150. It's brand new and still in the shipping crates, I've seen it. He's had it for over a year and just doesn't have time to install it. It would be going on the car in my sig. There really isn't any Blitz'ed eclipses or talons in my area. Just want opinions, thoughts, and whether it's worth it. Thanks.

John

It IS your car. You should do whatever you like. I got a blitz kit, because I had a killer deal to. I had never seen one around my area... but then, as soon as you put one on... it seems like everybody has one... but, I still think mine looks the best! :P

first find out where he originally bought the kit...if he bought it from a reputable dealer, then decide on whether you want to take a chance on it fitting well

If you are into body kits the blitz is still the best looking one to buy imo. Its a good deal. Go for it.

wait...a blitz kit for the talon. No dice dood...to the best of my knowledge there is only one aftermarket rear for the talon...Yer gonna have to do an eclipse conversion for the rear to get teh kit on.

Blitz looks good....very played out though.

its a good looking kit but as teh buck said, it is quite played out thanks to fnf. but its your car and if you want to put it on then do so. one word of advice before you do tho, get some new rims.

andysautosport (or something lke that) used to carry it...I guess there are a few out there but it was a horrible company and all i heard of their products were that they were horrible fitting...Which is why i am jus kinda makin sure we all know that an eclipse conversion will have to be done here to get the kit to fitl.

You're probably gonna need the 97+ Eclipse headlights or projectors too, but $150 for the whole kit is a killer deal, at least if you change your mind you could always get your money back out of it, probably even make a profit.

they make a rear for the talon, the people that make the SHOGUN style body kits (PAautoracing or some shit)...it's basically a rear skir that attached to the rear bumper on a talon..

Well if you like the kit and get so cheap..why not? If hes your friend..then you can borrow the kit and test fit it to se how it is I gues? If its ok then buy it..if not..dont..siple. The Eclipse converiosn on the rear part is not needed either if you have skills with fiberglass and can make it work on the talon rear.Everything can be done...but it takes some work....OR you get the eclipse lights and make it eclipse in the rear...Wills till look like an Eclipse anyways in front so...its no biggie.
I say if you likeit then go for it..your car your taste ;-)

Thanks everyone for your replys, I think I probably will get it. My friend said that he is no expert, but he knows a fair amount about fiberglassing and will help me put it on too.

Oh great, just what I need, another project......

What would I do without 2gnt......
