Will a hood fit in a hatchback?

I ordered a cf reverse scoop hood for my sti build. It was supposed to be shipped straight to RBMS, but the driver couldn't find the shop two days in a row even after I talked to him on the phone.
I think he is just a lazy ***.

I called and had the hood put on hold for pick up at the warehouse which just happens to be on the other side of the freeway from RBMS. I'm going there tomorrow to pick it up.

Do you think I'll be able to fit it in the back of my hatchback?

I certainly hope so...

You can confirm if you measure your own hood at widest point and longest point.

Get yourself some tiedowns and strap it on the roof. How far are you going. Wanna make sure its tight enough for these bay area winds.

Once I drove from SD to Barstow hoodless to pick up a hood... Drove like that for 3 hours. Dumb idea, but I did get my hood!

A mile and a half you will be fine. Just get some tiedowns and make sure it cant slip. Use padding too so you dont scratch it. Or just install it there. Almost like a trunk lid. But would be easier with hood struts rather than the army lean to hood prop.
