Not really helpful, but have you ever driven a car with an open trunk let alone no trunk? You're going to suck in a lot of exhaust fumes just driving down the road.

I got an EVO trunk shipped to me once and it was all jacked from shipping. The packing left something to be desired although the corners were protected and they still came all dented. Good job UPS. Then I did a claim with UPS and the guy got the check for the insurance claim and never sent it to me. I got screwed...the only time on EVOm I got screwed. It happens. $175 later out of my pocket and I can tell you about it.

saran wrap or duct tape if your car is silver. seriously though a tight wrap of plastic wrap would work in a pinch. get creative and paint it and post up pics even if you do use cardboard....we'll all have to see it.

Would saran wrap damage the car or paint at all? That may work the best

4 mil poly, cut it to fit and duct tape it down. While you get that get some adhesive remover for the duct tape after you take it off. I drove around with a busted back window and poly for about a week... through rain AND snow, worked better then having the window in.

Not in the Evo, it's not a hatchback, and the seats don't fold down so there are no gaps.
