Quick question for you guys. I just purchased an AMS-GT rear bumper. My problem is that I will be picking it up in Toronto this week in my 350z, and bringing it back to Montreal with me ( about 300 miles). I was wondering if anyone had any experience travelling with a bumper inside of their car? Will it even fit inside lol? Any insight is much appreciated!

Thanks

so the hatch can smack against it for 300 miles and tear it up?

No silly, anyone with half a brain would bring cardboard, blankets and twine. I assumed this much.

Or rent a truck, but DON'T try to drive your Z. You'll be swearing the whole way back as the hatch cracks sections of your precious rear bumper...

it wont fit.

If you're that desperate in using your Z, it might fit if you take out the passenger seat before leaving, then try to have it sit in the foot well and the other end in the trunk, but it'd be a shame to travel all that way just to realize it won't.

As others have said, borrow or rent a larger vehicle. You don't need a pick-up or truck, I was able to fit a Nismo V2 front and a set of sideskirts in my girlfriend's 4-door Mazda 3, but it was a tight fit.

or... take your bumper off and put the new one on when you get it

Don't they have Home Depot in Canada? I rented a truck from them to get my body kit down to my install guy when I had mine done.

Yes it will fit.

Put your seat forward, put the back support back. Put your passenger window down, and start fitting the bumper ( Face up) with one end going over the rear strut bar of the Z. Then keep pushing it till it clears. I have been doing this for months when I have to carry bumpers.

I fit the v3 nismo front rear and side skirts in my z for travel

No.

Very interesting. I wouldn't risk it! I was able to fit my side skirts in my car, but never tried the bumper...

Nope. Even if it did you risk the bumper and effin up the inside.....

i liked my idea, go get it with his off, slap it on out there and drive back

I second what Travlee said. Take your rear bumper off prior, install new one and drive back. It's just a couple screws. My iNGS rear bumper has 6 screws holding it.

I was going to suggest the same thing but then noticed you already suggested that and I didnt want a repeat of that cold air intake thread.
