Rear Bumper conversion
I just wanna make sure this is possible before I go out and buy the parts to do this. I wanna do a rear end conversion from my 96 Talon to a 99 Eclipse but im not sure if all the parts will sit right on my car. So if this is possible or has been done before please tell me cause I really like the Eclipse rear bumper over mine.

Yes, It is possible. You will have to rewire your taillights though. Oh yeah, you need to search.

I tried to search this first I have been looking into it for almost a month now but everything I would search wouldn't bring up any relevant issues that were the same. Thats why I posted this to make sure and actually ask after nothing showing up in searches.

Well, yes it actually is fairly simple to change bumpers.

Don't get me wrong I love my talon but I really don't like the license plate holder on the rear its too big and I also like the reverse lights in the bumper

Ok thanks, but seriously I do love the talon its just that I like the straight accross look of the eclipse tails. And yes I do agree the Talon rear bumper does look better cause its not so big and bodacious as the eclipse but I would rather have the straight across tails with my car than that big center piece of the tails that serves no purpose but to take up more room than needed for the license plate. Sorry if I hurt your feelings but like posted before it is my car and this is what I want to do to it.
