Will I be able to fit a FR-S/BRZ bumper in my trunk?
 

Like title, I'm picking up a spare front bumper but don't have a truck to pick it up with. Has anybody tried fitting one in the trunk with seats down?

Yep!
I had the box from my TRD exhaust crammed in mine.
Just fold down the back seat (Duhhh) and put the passenger seat all the way forward and tilt it and I bet you are fine. Means no passengers though.

Yes, 4 wheels w/ mounted tires, a helmet, and a small toolbox :P

On a serious note lol no it doesn't. I've tried.

Is the pope catholic?

Really? The TRD exhaust box is longer then the car is wide and much bulkier and I got it in with some light pushing and wiggling (the box not me). Was it more a shape issue?

Yeah shape issue. I tried it when I bought mine. I could get one side in but the other side will stick out of the trunk. Then I tried sticking one end out of the passenger window and closing the trunk but it was too dangerous to be driving like that.

I stand corrected then! (Never thought the shape would be an issue)

Trunk won't work, but supposedly it will fit in passenger seat if you lean the seat all the way back and take the headrest off.

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

It's a lot bigger than it looks.
It won't fit. It barely fit in my wife's Countryman with all the seats folded down.

Take the passenger seat out if you have a place to put it. I'm picking up a bumper for my other car next week and that's what I'm going to do.

They're a bit flexible too so that always helps.

I'm on my second front bumper, and I'm about to pick up another from the Toyota dealer this week. It fits with some work. 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.

Off topic, but how come you're on your 2nd bumper now? o.O

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:

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.

Thats me bruh.


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!

lol, nah. I date an asian girl, but she doesn't look like Donnah Pham :wub:

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".

You missed my point, which was not whether it would or wouldn't fit, but rather, through measurement it could be established if the bumper would fit. Thus making the OP's question to the forum unnecessary. Given that it would fit in the passenger seat, that could have been established through measurement quite quickly.

I slightly disagree with this. If you do measure it, it's not going to fit (according to the measurements). However, since the bumper is flexible it fits, which a tape measure would not be able to tell you.

If it's a stupid question I never post in that thread. Seeing as this is a pretty good question and not all that common I think it was a wise thread to create.

I fit a bumper and a fender in my car without anything hanging out of the trunk or the window. Just fold the back seats down and move the passanger seat all the way forward and lay it flat.

Just get an engineering student to do a computer simulation and declare what is the best way ever. I understand that works for wings.

Thanks everybody, I love the internet!

Dammit I keep coming to this thread hoping to see a picture of a freaking bumper in our car.

I'm tired of being disappointed, someone do it and post a pic!!!!!!!!

My Rear OEM bumper fits in the car. You have to put the back seat down as well as move the front seat all the way forward. You'll have to Tetris it in. Be careful not to scratch the interior.

if u ask such question, you already know the answer

I'm picking mine up from Toyota tomorrow morning, I'll snap a pic or 2.

It fits! Don't need to put any seat down just took off passenger side headrest and folded sent all the way back, but I suppose you could fold the back seats if you like!

DUDE! All wrong.

You wrap the hookers in plastic so they don't leak on your carpet. The car info even provides you with a layout for placement of two (with handbags).
