i bet it would fit no problem if you put the passenger seat all the way back and laid it out on there. this is coming from a man who has never attempted this haha. let us know how you make out

I guess the best way to really find out for sure is to take your own bumper off and try to fit that in your 8. Removing the bumper only takes 5-10 min.

Yes it will fit. i have transported the stock front bumper with lip in the car before.
You just have to lie the passenger seat flat..and make sure you bring some towels to prevent the edges of the bumper from damaging/cutting your seats

His passenger had to walk home a couple hundred miles

Fit an MS in one and a stock. If you angle it right, it will fit.

I think we even fit two OEM rims when we did that too
