I am currently looking for a nice eclipse and have recently come across a 95 with only 67000 miles. Now what I'm wondering is how hard is it to switch out the front/back bumpers and sideskirts for the 97-99 versions? I don't like the 95-96 look and I won't purchase the car unless I can switch out those parts myself. Thanks.

not hard at all. completely bolt on.
plus, once you have the stock bumpers taken off the first time, you can reinstall them using about 1/4 of the amount of bolts they come attached with from the factory, thus making future tasks much quicker and easier.

The front bumper is really easy, I can take my front bumper off in about 5 minutes no kidding. Undo a few bolts and it slides rite out. Here is a link to azdaves write up on the front bumper removal. Also I dont see the rear bumper being much harder.
