no mounting brackets or anything at that needed?...also for the back up reverse lights I assume you just run the same wires to the 97-99 reverse back up lights after mounting them in place?

this may be off topic..but would you know any places i can get the rear bumper, cuz i can not find any here nor other website. also being that this maybe my first boosted ride, what should i expect from this type of car, im use to the honda/acura b-series all-motor swapped cars.

oh compared to a honda your gonna be blown away. They run about a 15.1 stock in the 1/5 mile and have about 210hp. Alot more that those slow hondas . And youll find that the aftermarket is endless for these cars. Also there are some small cheap startoff mods that can give you alittle extra hp. Actually a couple that are free. My suggestion is doing some searching on here for questions about the car you might have. Do your research and learn about them before you get start modding. And also research "crankwalk". It is something that all 1993-1999 turbo eclipses are suseptable to so its something to keep in mind becuase misuse of the car can result in this side affect
