Well technically third. My car sits maybe half an inch from the ground right now, I'm close to laying frame and scrape on everything. I've got 3 cracks on the bottom of my bumper :thumbdown:

No offense OP, but you can probably answer this yourself if you would just get out a measuring tape.

Problem with this board is that people here want to be spoon fed the answers.

This is actually one of the more reasonable questions there has been in a while. With the shape of the bumper a simple measurement is meaningless and there has to be somebody that has tried it before and knows if it works. Not like the OP asked "what is that chirping noise I hear from the front of my car" or "I have this weird smell when I start the car does anybody else have that?"

Majority is just based on common sense tho.

There is no such thing!
If there were I would have been out of work years ago.

Lean passenger seat all the way down, take head rest off, and put the bumper in with the front of the bumper facing towards the front windshield. Hopefully you don't have a long drive cause you can't see shit afterwards.

Nah, her name is Donnah Pham. In my top 10 of girls I'd give away all my shit to have sex with.

Um, I was kind of hoping it was you or your girlfriend.

Yeah, she's pretty damn hot.

I'm looking at pics of her. I think she got a nosejob done (among other things)..... noses of Vietnamese people usually aren't so pointy. They are usually a bit on the wide side. The plastic surgeon who did it though did a great job, can hardly tell.

I also fit the front bumper in the car. Luckily it is pretty maluable just be careful not to scrape up the interior with the sharp edges!

But shhh, we won't tell her.

@Tcoat, actually simple measurement will tell you that you can't get it in and still close the trunk lid. In less than 5 minutes I discovered that at its most constricted the FRS trunk 13" high. Both the width and the depth of the bumper are over 20". I suppose if the OP isn't going to far with it the open trunk lid is an option, but to my point he could have discovered this himself in less time than it took to write the post.

Uhm, I think we all established it can fit in the PASSENGER SEAT.

I disagree that it is a simple measurement. With the weird shape just twisting a bit one way or the other could make a huge difference. It is not a nice liner, regular shaped object. Add in all the variables in how you can move seats back and forth and reclined or folded forward and you get into some pretty heavy duty math.
May need to pull the spare and open up that much more space though if the trunk height is only 13".
