^^ no even with the car loaded up it can fit, trust me. I had my current CF hood sitting on top of two weeks of vacation packing, a mountain bike, etc all in the trunk.
I really need to post more of my pictures online, I have no idea what computers those are on :P

I know the hood can fit in the hatch, but it won't fit in mine. I have the MSP amp/sub rack back there and I'd rather just drive without a hood than have to disconnect and reconnect all that wiring again.
We'll see how it goes I guess, if a cop sees me hopefully he doesn't feel like being a dick about it. I've seen people drive all sorts of cars (without doors, hood, fender, etc.) so I figured it wasn't a big deal.

It can actually fit totally above the real 'hatch' area.. by that I mean it'll fit high enough that it is completely visible through the windows.
argh argh where are my pics of it! I had a mountain bike, 2 weeks of vacation stuff (not just my stuff, stuff from other family members as well), etc and put the hood on top of it all

No worries Kansei. I'm gonna go and test my current hood back there and see if it'll fit. If it fits .. we're good to go.
On a side note, I just contacted both Iowa and Illinois State Police HQ and they both said that is NOT illegal for me to drive without it. So either way I think I'll be ok .. as long as nothing goes flying out of my engine bay haha.

Well I'll be damned. I have no idea why I didn't think of trying to put the hood in there sideways, but it ****** works!! Thanks Kansei, guess I'll be putting my hood back on after all and taking the safe route.
