Anyone ever put a bumper in the back seat?

I haven't measured yet, but I was kicking around the idea if I could fit a 3G rear bumper in the back seat and drive it to a paint shop.
I'm guessing worse comes to worse, part of it sticks out the window.

Before anybody says, "why don't you ship the bumper to the shop", it is because I want to keep my existing bumper and drive that back home.

Yeah those seats are pretty delicate, I'd probably wrap it. I'd order it from Acura, so I'm not sure if it will fit with the box. I have no clue how big the box is.

Yes it would fit. I fit a Ron Jon back bumper. Put the passenger sit all the way down and the the bumper in a angle.

The easiest method:

Maybe you have a friend with a van or truck.
Ask them to do you a favor and buy them something in return like beer.

Ensures no hassle.

i fit my asepc lip in my car this way.

recline your passenger seat down and lay the bumper (out of the box) diagonally in the cabin. the bumper should be wrapped in a light foam in the box (leave it wrapped, or re wrap after inspecting upon delivery to insure no damage has occurred). lay a towel or blanket across the back seat so as not to gouge the leather.

or do what GP suggested, find a friend with a truck or SUV, and bribe them with beer and food.

what 08 NBP TL and TLtrigirl said, it'll lay across the passenger front seat and wrap around to the back seat. just put the passenger seat all the way down/back and you'll see what i mean.

Yes it does, I fit a front and rear bumper wrapped together that I bought from a AZiner here last year. If you go through the rear driver and angle it towards the front passanger and drop the passenger seat like 08NBPTL said it should work... Good luck

I fit a front bumper in mine, diagonally across the front passenger to the rear seat like someone else said. A rear will definitely fit
