#60664, "Question about rear end talon-eclipse conversion.."
I just bought a 99 eclipse rear bumper and tails. I was wondering if it was pretty simple to replace my stock talon bumper and tails with these or does it take a little fabrication. TIA

depends on what you want to do, I do have the conversion(i'll get pics ASAP). 1)you can fabricate things to get the mounts in the right place. -or- 2) (my route) have the center mount taken off, and welded in the same position as the Eclipse(it shouldnt take much research, you can pretty much see where it is), the 2 side brackets are optional, I just left them where they were, so now all my bumper is held with is the center bracket, and the fenders, it's been on the car for like almost 2 months now, and no problems at all with just being held in those points...but if you're worried, just have some kind of spacers fabricated(highschool wood shop!? ) and get some longer bolts...
the moving of that bracket cost me $40 from a local body shop, took maybe...15 minutes at most... getting the bumper mounted was the biggest pain of all of it, the bolts in the fenders are annoying to get back in..
