Bargain... But will it fit in my car?

Post by Supplanter »

Not sure how to pick this up. Has anyone transported a bumper bar before?

1) get a camry but it in the rear seats, open the rear windows, drive home and hope cops dont pull you over.

2) hire a ute for $15 and pick it up and drive it home

3) hire a van for $40 and pick it up and drive it home

4) get a courier to delivery it for u ($???)

By yourself

If you are by yourself, you should be able to lay the passenger seat right back and fit it front to rear I think?????

How far you have to shift it??

    Supplanter, for the first time your gonna be glad i posted in your thread!

    When I bought the rear bar from car mate (the one that was TOO big), i just reclined the passanger seat as far back as it would go and the bar fit inside the car.
    It didnt look like it would but it got in there with not much trouble at all.

    When I got my body kit done. I drove home with the stock front bar, rear bar and side skirts and spoiler in the car.

    You'll need to remove the rear seats and let the bar's natural curve sit on the rear and your front seat. Just bear in mind that you should try and stay in the left lane most of the time coz you won't see anything out the passenger side window. :lol:
