Default Hood in the hatch?

Hey all I have a quick question. Does anyone know if I can fit a ram air hood in my hatch to get it home? Came across a deal on one and need to pick it up. Might be able to get someone to help me with a truck, but not sure. I need a backup plan.

No way man.

The hood is way to wide, and if you attempt it you will probably damage the hood.

Remember these hoods are not steel they are fiberglass.

I was thinking the same thing, but I'm pretty sure I saw a pic of someone on the boards who actually had a hood in the back of their car. Seems like it won't fit, I was hoping someone who has seen or done it would chime in.

Yes you can.
It's been done.
There were photos posted here on LS1Tech within the last couple months when someone did that.
Try the search, see if you can find it.
