95 Talon TSi AWD

I hear ya on the money but the reason they are more is cause their rare and companys like cerifit dont remanufacture them. You can get a certifit bumper for an eclipse for less that $40. Not to bad and the fitment is nice.

But when I called around the only place that had talon stuff was keystone and it was to the tune of $350 for the front and $425 for the rear, So actually $200 is not that bad.

Id still go rare look. Or just leave it. The reason why vent holes were cut into the eclipse bumpers was for airflow. If your not overheating ditch the vents in the bumper and just leave it oem look if you do decide to go that route.

My dad owns a body shop so Keystone's advertised price is not what we pay. We pay a good amount under that. The last time I checked they were out of stock on the fronts. I forget the rear's availability.

Im aware of the shop. Just saying the average Joe cant walk into there and get those prices. Id guess your still gonna pay $200-$250 though with said discount.

Either way whatever bumper you choose, youll do it right and get it painted and will look good.

On a side note how much would your dad charge to spray front, rear bumpers, sideskirts, fenders, hatch and hood?

PM me a price I could drop said parts of while Im ski fishing in your area.

True true. I also didn't touch on the Certafit bumpers; I wouldn't touch 'em with a 10 foot poll. lol Keystone makes a nice OE replacement.

I'll ask him whenever possible. I should be able to get you a round-about price sometime Monday.

Thanks.

Do 2GB talon bumpers. I've always loved them. Just sayin

[DSMINMN]

I do love the 2gb Talon look, but there is not much that can be done to a 2gb Talon front bumper, cutting wise. I do plan to have a nice sized FMIC on this car in time. Along with the Holset or possibly the 16g.

[GsXtUrBo98]

Stock is sexy in my opinion I didn't do anything with mine just trimmed and I have a big fmic and a 35r

I to didnt cut my bumper with my front mount and only had issues when I was in rush hr traffic and it was hot. In your neck of the woods I dont see traffic being an issue.

I guess I just like the look of the bumper cutout to show the FMIC. Maybe I will have to look into a 2gb bumper to keep it more stock appearing. Who knows.



I started working on the car again. I forget if I have mentioned this or not but the engine has been making a tapping/rattling sound (from 3,000 up). I believe it is a cracked flex plate and/or the disc/teeth around the torque converter. That discouraged me a bit so I moved onto the interior/dash swap. I didn't get far but here are some pictures anyhow.

The dash is completely stripped. It kind of has me wondering what I want to delete now that I have the chance to. lol
