Default difference between eclipse and talons

i am buying a 96 talon and i need new fenders cuz they are all messed up so i was wondering, would eclipse z3 fenders and eclipse body kits work for the talon? would the lights not fit right?

Yes. They will fit. Though if you choose a bumperdesigned for 2gB (97-99) you may need to use the newer headlights. Otherwise (apart from bumpers) everything should bolt up just fine.

correct. if you do an eclipse conversion all you have to to is get the front bumper, rear bumper and head lights. but you MUST make sure that they are all the same model either 2ga (95-96) or 2gb (97-99) if you get a 95 body kit with 99 headlights it will not fit.

No no no, oh no you dont, Ron,dont be telling people to do Eclipse conversions. TOO many Eccys... NOT ENOUGH Talons. lol

On the other hand.. that just makes Talons THAT much more rare... Hey, C5, what u doin with the stock Talon parts?

ok let me straighten this out a bit...i think. This is what has been said on this site before as far as the conversions between models
1. 95-96 Talons and Eclipses will need 97-99 Eclipse headlights to convert to a 97-99 Eclipse front
2. 95-96 Talons can swap directly to a 97-98 Talon bumper with no need for new headlights.
3. 97-98 Talons will need 97-99 Eclipse headlights to swap to a 97-99 Eclipse front.
4. 97-99 Eclipse will need 95-96 style lights to swap to any other 2g bumper

Good write-up, TE. That should keep people from asking. (No it wont) But its worth a try.

i agree, good write up. i'd say it should be sticky but i think this question is asked.... ohh, once every 8 months or so. not enough talons is correct
