Will I be able to fit a FR-S/BRZ bumper in my trunk? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

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

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.

Andrew025 · 02-27-2015, 09:05 AM

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
