Nice photography too.

I don't know too much about bodykits and conversions, but I've always wondered. When you do a conversion, like 2gTSiAWD did, can you use bodykits/bumpers from that car? For example, can 2g use Eclipse front bumpers if he wanted to?

Nice Eclipse, but it has to be lower to the ground. The wheel-arches have to be filled

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 11 Mar 2005, 12:11

Nah I reckon it's perfect the way it is.

If he makes it lower, then it won't be as good for drag racing.

And if he fills the wheel arches, then it will lose the cool race-car image.

I like it how it's not over the top. It's a very nice, clean look.

Why would it look bad? A Talon has the front end of an Eclipse, when u put a bumper from one on it. I like it better than a talon bumper. Nice car, looks good.

looks good, dude. great work on the pics either.

one hint: change your sig size if you don't want to get it deleted.

Great looking car, but I would drop it slightly. Not too much that youll lose performance, but enough to get rid of the 4x4 look. Nice work.

Correct

I will try to anwer all of your questions.

It will be lowered. But very slightly. I do not wan't to loose the stock stance ofthe car. Maybe less than an inch. Plus I will be ditching the 18's for some light weight 16" Rota Slip Streams or some 17" Bronze Volk TE37's.

I don't know too much about bodykits and conversions, but I've always wondered. When you do a conversion, like 2gTSiAWD did, can you use bodykits/bumpers from that car? For example, can 2g use Eclipse front bumpers if he wanted to?

I really do not undertand what you are trying to say. All 95-99 Eclipse Body parts are interchangeable to a 95-98 Talon. Hope that answers's your question.

Lowering my car more than an inch will change my 60 foot times drastically. Some may say other wise but for an AWD car being slammed to the ground looses some performance ie: Launching, 60 foot times etc...

I wan't it to maintain close to stock looking as possible. Just barley a little drop, and some 16" or 17" rims. But when I get my Front Mount IC it won't look very stock

Sorry for the sig. I will re-size it or take it off.

wow that's very nice! I love it!

WOW

awesome car, man!!

Maverick2K4 · Post by **Maverick2K4** » 22 Mar 2005, 08:56

Yeah, that answers my question. What I meant to ask was if front bumpers designed for an Eclipse would be able to fit on your Talon since you got the Eclipse bumper. Speaking of Talons, the Talon is in GT4, and so is the Eclipse, but they're the FF versions, which makes me sad
