Are you going to use talon or 95-96 headlights?

I think he said somewhere he modified the bumper to fit 97+ headlights.

Car is looking great! What do you plan to do with that green 2gb bumper?
the green bumper was sold the day the new one showed up

Yes I have the center cut out of a junked 2gb eclipse bumper the I will be cutting up and using to fill the gaps in the talon bumper to the 2gb head lights. I am doing it since I have never liked the 2ga head lights at all. It will have the gaps till I do the body work and paint it.

Ah ok. Was just curious.

Another idea would be to just paint the 2ga headlights, well the inside housings anyways. It would be a lot easier rather than having to do a lot of body work.

I am a body tech so it is no big deal for me to mod the bumper. I dont like the design of the 2ga head lights that is why I am going to mod the bumper it self

Is a body tech the same as a painter? If so how come no paint on cars? :(

Same thing. Kevin and I painted my old 92 talon. Other than that I have been slowly replacing all the tools that were stolen from me so I can do the body work and paint cars.

now the not so happy. I did not even think about it the front diffuser is for a eclipse 2gb bumper and not a talon 2gb bumper. So the holes are in the wrong spots. With it lined up with the holes it does not stick out the 2in that it should. I moved it out the 2in so it is right and I like the way it looks.
