hello guys, i didn't know where i would post this question, so i turned to my trusty socalers!! lol

i just paid for a sport bumper for sale here on the forum, and will go pick it up,

i will drive to his place with my wife in the car (07 g35 coupe)

is there anyway i can put my own sport bumper in the car with my wife still being able to sit in it?

someone teach me!! (i don't wanna have to drive my mom's suv up the pch!, that road was designed for sports cars!!)

thanks

kevin

 

I don't think the wife will be able to ride unless you strap the bumper to the roof. Or you can lay the passenger seat down, put the bumper in the car and strap the wife on the roof.

 

front bumper will fit. have to open your moon roof, and put the bumper in the car shaped like a "u". so that it pokes out the top. the trunk, when closed, will hold down that part so it doesn't wiggle around. it actually fits pretty easily and nicely. but no, there's no way the wife can ride. she can ride there, but has to find her way back.

rear bumpers dont fit...period. I tried that. LOL.

 

i lol'ed

so i can't have her sit in the back seat behind me, and have the bumper set on the right rear back seat and thte folded front seat?

 

nope. it won't fit. you have to have the front seat leaned forward/back, your choice, as well as the back seats folded down. it's the only way to fit it in.

the roof idea is perfectly fine...or you could strap your wife to the roof too. if she HAS to come, the roof works fine. just bring straps and rope.

 

both will fit as long as she sits behind you. you can arc the bumper over the passenger seat so one end sits in the passenger side footwell, and the other end rests on the rear, passenger side seat. adjust the passenger seat to provide clearance.

i've put a nismo, kuruma z, and stock bumper in my coupe (not at the same time, lol) so i know this can be done.

 

Transport it with your mom's suv, slap on the bumper, come back and drive pch with your G.

 

thanks guys for the replies!! and bigc i believe you ~~

as long as she agrees to sit in the back (beats the roof lol), imma take this trip when come back after the wedding.

any suggestions as to where to stop and where to play from chino hills to Goleta, ca?? (somehow i always remember that city as GELATO @@)

thanks guys, when i come back, let's meet up, i dont' have any G friends T_T

here are few pics because everybody loves pics










the wife and I .... yes we took this pic in the bathroom with a pink camera XD



last but not least...what i drive in taiwan!! (it's shorter than a mini cooper, when you live in taipei, which is equivalent to NY in the parking game, it gets very useful!)








aight guys...have a good one!

Kevin

 

just go to the sedan meet next month and youll make a ton of friends...mod bug is starting to get to you

 

Just wanted to confirm that bigc was right! I just came back from Santa Barbara last night picking up the bumper from dukehotty, and the wife was able to sit behind me with the bumper arched over the leaned forward passenger seat, it was even that hard to put in. However I don't recommend doing this since it was next to impossible to change lanes to the right, because it blocks the rear view mirror, the rear quarter window AND the rear window, it wasnt fun at all.... Oh and by the way, brophy bros seafood was frikken amazing if you're ever at the yacht club in Santa Barbara

 

glad it worked out for you
