best idea is to install your CF hood there then toss a piece of cardboard on your roof and strap your old hood down. I believe we have had threads about this before lol its a usual problem. I'm sure you could bend your CF hood and fit it in teh back but I wouldn't want to bend it like that personally.

Another thing that was thought of was to wrap the Cf hood in a sheet or bubble wrap or soemthing and stick it under your current hood and then tie your current hood down from the latch to the bumper. Just get ghetto with it and bring lots of rope and bunjees haha. Also I am not held liable for anything that may result from the ideas haha.

I think the hood on the roof with cardboard is the best idea. I wouldnt try to put t in the trunk if i were you. It doesnt seem like a good idea lol.

or, totally ghetto.... ...take off your hood and drive there, then install the CF hood there. But you say you can't install there so, find someone with a truck, or rent one?
