Yeah, I would do the 97-99 conversion and spend more money on performance parts.

I'd also say use the money on performance mods. But it's your car, so do what you want with it. I haven't seen many nice body kits for DSMs, especially for the 1G's.

No, I was planning to get it possibly molded on at the shop. But seeing as how expensive you guys make it sound. Ha! Think I'm just going to head back to the performance part.

I have a 96 GST and it has that smily face front bumper, and I kind of don't like it. I'm just thinking of ways to make it look better. I thought about doing the 96 to 97-99 body conversion. Any suggestions to that or disagrement to that?
Thank you, you've saved us all. 97-99 conversion is pretty simple and doesn't cost that much. You might even get lucky and find the parts in your matching color so no paintwork. You ned the headlights as well as the bumper.

Well I've seen that kit on a few cars on the Net and personally if done correctly it looks bad ass. (like allan said) But like everyone else here the cost to install it is going to be expensive. You "MUST" have it molded to the car in order for it to look good. And then you have to have the car re-painted.

I personally Like the body kit I have on my car. (rear end could be changed but I have yet to find one that would look better) Anyrate it's all fiberglass, and yes it will crack if you hit something hard enough (but for me it's always been an easy fix... get some epoxy and your good to go) I have a white car so it's easy enough to paint and make it look "OK" nothing special but at least it's better then primer.

Anyrate I had a 1996 GST and I currently have a 1995 GSX. And I'm with you I HATE the Stock front end on those cars. Personally if you want something easy.

I've always like the 97-99 Talon Front End with the 97-99 Eclipse Sides/Rear.

'97-98 Talon with '95-96 Talon sideskirts looks really good too.

yeah body kits are gay, even more so when they are "wide body" when you dont even have a need for a wide body, your not making enough power with your BOV and muffler. sorry....

I've never seen a picture of that combo. Do you happen to know where there is one?
