Default hood in my hatch?

Hey all
Does anyone know if I can fit a ram air hood in my hatch, just for the ride home? Found a good deal, but I need to pick it up tomorrow, and I'm not sure if I can get someone with a truck to help out. Any help would be appreciated. I could swear I saw a pic on here somewhere of a hood in someones hatch.

not sure on the hood, but i can say from experience that a t-top headliner will fit back there, as well as a factory surfboard (ie, the dashpad)

it will fit, i hauled my stock hood home in the back of my camaro! You have to take the rear left hand speaker panel off and the back corner of the hood will fit in the hole there! Take you some towels, blankets, etc... so you wont scratch the hood or your interior. The passenger seat will have to be all the way up and someone may have to hold the front part of the hood up so that you can close the rear hatch. <-- Put some towels on the part that sticks up in case you have to stomp the brakes or something so that the hood will not come up and break out the back window! Mine fit great drove 1:45 Min with it that way. Oh yeah the other corner of the hood will be at your driver door and you will have to hold the hood up alittle then close the door, and a rag or towel would be good there also
