Oh really? what about the rear quarter panels and trunk lid?

stick to hondas kid. talon bumpers are mounted lower than the eclipse bumpers. you dont need any modifications to fit the eclipse taillights. you just need to drill 2 holes to mount the center piece. the quarter panels are exactly the same
