Eclipse rear end conversion

I was looking at body kits and most rear bumpers are for the eclipse. If I got the eclipse tail lights and the aftermarket rear bumper for the eclipse is that all I need? Does everything else fit? Rear fenders? Hatch?

Re: Eclipse rear end conversion

Not so much that I want a body kit. Replacement rear quarter / rocker panels are expensive! And im thinking me and roland can cut out the rust, weld in our own sheet metal and cover up the nastyness with side skirts. But if I just get side skirts.. then the front bumper and rear bumper look awkard. How good are you at welding? Do you the equipment? We were considering using the highschools shop lol.

Re: Eclipse rear end conversion

I agree. No bodykit for you. If it's not too bad, we could possibly cover it up with a set of stock rocker moldings.

Re: Eclipse rear end conversion

Next time you are hangin out with Jer, have him show you my talon so we can figure out what to do with the rust. i CANT be ridin dirty. right now, cutting the rust out, welding in sheet metal and cover it up with a body kit seems cheapest and easist. let me know what you think...
