#4858, "Problem with body kit"


          

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.

$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
