Will a body kit fit IN my car?

I have just bought a used Apex II Body kit (front and back bumpers only)

What are the chances that this thing will fit inside my car? I know kar33m took out his entire enterior basically to transport his kit, at least I think it was him.

I was thinking if I folded down the passinger seat, put the kit in from the back and angled it across the back seat and up the front passinger seat I might have a chance.

Has anyone sucessfully done this with out stripping their interior?

I just transported a Ken rear bumper and side shirts by just pulling the passenger back (not even reclined). Is it possible to put the bumper inside each other; put the smaller of the two "inside" the other?

i had a evo vii front in my car with only reclining the passenger seat. i'm sure if you folded down the rear seat, you could get it to fit.

Yes Kareem removed the passenger side seat. I think that's all he removed, since nothing else would free up space. Personally, I would do that since it's only 4 bolts and saves you the hassle of making a second trip because you had to go back home to drop off the seat if you can't get it to fit the first time.

btw, my eyes are tired from the long day at work and I seriously thought your thread title asked if a body kit would fit ON your car.

yes it will fit if you remove your passenger seat at least the front bumper, the rear im not too sure its a pretty wide piece the Apex II RB. But you will be able to fit the Front over the Rear.

I borrowed my dads truck so I had no problems getting it in. Now im just stressing over fitment. I totally forgot about the rear bumper fitment issues. Since I dont feel like cutting and welding nor taking out my rear bumper completly I think I will problaby sell it and but the Kamanari Rear and put that on my stock bumper.

Ugh, what a night.

^ Yeah, I almost thought the same thing then I noticed Danno was the original poster. I was planning on flaming him big in the moderator's forums if he had posted such a noob question. I need more sleep, I have been goofing up too much lately.

Gawd maybe I should just change the title of this thread.

Regardless, I hate that I cant safely put this rear bumper on my car. I wish I would have remembered a trivial detail like that when I bought the kit. Hopefully someone else will want it.
