Can a SVX rear bumper fit in a SVX?
I couldn't seem to figure it out. It would save me trip if there were a way to get it in.

Sean,
I would hazzard a guess that it will with the pass seat all the way back and tucked in shiney side up laying over the seat/center console. FTR a TVR rear and front bumper fit in my Taz with the top up hence my very educated guess. Clean it up first!

Yes it can be done. It passes thru the folded rear seat. I did this many years back, can't remember all the details.. The bumper I had, also had the impact bar still installed so it was even larger than just the cover, so you should be good.

Re: Can a SVX rear bumper fit in a SVX?
It was too tall to go through the seats, that was the problem, I'll try what Ben suggested, reclining the passenger seat all the way back. If that doesn't work I may need to just make two trips. I hope they can make this bumper work, after looking closer at it, there is a spot that is kind of messed up.

You may need to put it in through the drivers side with that seat reclined to get it in due to the window esp. if you're doing it alone.

Re: Can a SVX rear bumper fit in a SVX?
It can be done as I have done it. requires folding the seat down and going from the trunk and having it so the front curve is upwards and slides past the passenger side seat. (That is how I recall anyways, I don't remember using a sunroof).
