For anyone that would like part numbers for the various 97-98 pieces, I have them here including prices. I'll be happy to help out the DSM community.
And as far as the parts here is a list....
Rear spoiler 97-98 Dealer part #MR236471 (Aftermarket is more expensive sometimes but I paid $270
If anyone has a site for the rear spoiler please post it for us
You will need 6 bolts. There are 6 mounting points on the spoiler. MS240141 $2 each
Rear Spoiler lamp MR245023 $70
You will need two screws for the lamp. If you have the "Thumbnail" spoier from 95-95 just take the two screws off of that spoilers lamp. There are three screws on the Thumbnails spoiler lamp.
The Eagle emblem for the front face bumper MR784377 $47 (Comes in colors. I chose silver 98 version to contrast the red)
On the rear "Eagle" name plate MR777706 $27
ON the rear "TSi" name plate MR777708 $9
On the rear "AWD" Nameplate MR777709 $11
The Front face bumper you should try to get from the junkyard. Dealer price is $389. (My shop paid $339)Part number is not necesary. There are only two bumpers and you have one of them.
Rear bumper as well try to find from junkyard. Mind you only about 10 97-98 talons were made per state (I was told)so finding it is hard. Rear bumper at dealer is $405. I wasn't going to change the rear but a trip to the junkyard at random prove to show me luck when a 96 talon was junked that same day I was there and it happen to have the rear bumper from 97-98. Costed me $150 for just the cover. (I had a huge as I forked over the $150)
One DSMer pointed out this site which you can try for the bumpers. WWW.Wholesalebumpers.com/eagle/talon.htm
The side slash moldings on Door (2 needed one for each side)MR758526 and MR758534 $96 each
The remaining part on the quarter panel (2 needed one for each side) MR758542 and MR758550 $40 each
My opinion is to find a car with these on. My local junkyard was selling them in black for $80 all 4. Great deal but the work involved in alligning them and drilling into the doors to install them was far greater. I like the smooth look anyways. Cleaner look.
The fog lamps are very different which includes modifiing your existing connectors to go with the new fog lamps. So you will end up trashing your old foglamps just to take off the wiring harness to transfer to the new ones.
The brackets are different as well. They are shorter and when you remove the old brackets on the passenger side you will have to remove the horn. I screwed the horn in a different location.
Fog lamps MR296282 and MR296281 $114 Each.
Brackets MR221616 and MR221615 $13 each
These brakets mount to the exact location as the old brackets. You can reuse the 4 screws you took off the old lamps. There are two white plastic clips that go into the brackets one clip for each bracket. I was fortunate that they came with one of the fog lamps (Their mistake)I ordered. But I dont have the numbers for that. Just make sure that the clips are with the brackets or the lamps (My clips were in the box for the lamp and I don't think they are free....You know how the dealer charges for everything!!! )
That should be everything. I was glad that there was a stupid driver to reward me with my dream as you can see it is very expensive to convert to the 1997-1998 version of the Talon.
Let me know if this helps you. good luck!!! Add as you wish with possible deals for the community in doing this conversion. All additions are welcome.
Also this thread is NOT an opinion, but rather a little info on the parts needed to do the conversion. I actually did this research and used it to do my conversion. If you have better deals other than the dealer post it. (Cause you know Satan robs you)
