    BAMF's new location in Grass Valley is about an hours drive from my house... does anybody know if they offer installation of their rear bumper for an additional fee...

    I moved in a wagon. And picked up a manual conversion kit in the trunk of a non folding sedan using a moving blanket.

    that being said like others have mentioned a steel bumper is big awkward heavy strong and jagged meaning it will be difficult to put into a sedan, if it even fits. And will try to damage the interior.

    you may be better off renting a vehicle for transport. Or Seeing if you can have them install it.

    whether that be a friends truck. Back of your truck. Uhaul. Home Depot truck. You name it.

    the civic can drive with the trunk open and tied secure. Possibly a red flag which Home Depot also gives out for free required by law if the part hanging out extends beyond a certain distance from the back of the vehicle.
    But whether a trunk is open with a flag or not doesn’t really help with the rest of it.

    you may also need a helper. If you have a good easy transport vehicle then you may not have to bring somebody with you and can just have the seller lend a quick hand or anybody nearby.

    when I picked up my ARB front from ORW or somewhere they helped get it to and on my truck bed but it was a bit more simple because it was also well packaged in a big rectangular box making it a little less awkward to grab and position.
