I would suggest having the body shop that is going to paint your kit pick it up from greyhound. They should be happy to do it to earn your business. I picked a body shop somewhat nearby the greyhound station. On the day of arrival, I drove to the body shop and went with one of their guys to the greyhound station in a company truck. You need to be there to sign for it.
I must've had it stored there for at least a week before I actually got it painted and installed (I needed my car for that week and couldn't leave it overnight at the shop).
Good luck! Keep us posted and definitely post pics when it's installed.

+1. I remember picking up the front/sides directly from umnitza and the only issue was the side skirts semi-obstructing my driving because it was next to my face! Btw, folding rear seats is a must unless you tie the sides on top of your car. GL!

Give Greyhound a call to see if they do drop off in your area, the chances are they will drive a van and deliver to your door for another $20. That's exactly what I've done to get my parts, didn't even need to drive to the station to pick up
forgot to mention, YMMV

Wow, well let me say this never would have fit in my 545...haha. But my god Umnitza did one hell of a job packing it. This box couldn't haven been damaged if it was dropped out of plane. Thanks Umitza can't wait to install!

I recall reading that a member here carried the rear bumper with one of the ends sticking out of the sunroof.
What I did was lean front passenger seat all the way back. From the rear driver-side door, bring the sideskirts in and place them on the passenger seat. The front bumper went on the back seat with a part of it on top of the sideskirts. Use lots of padding. All the hardware can go in the trunk. I don't know where you will put the rear bumper though. I guess a second car would be required for that...or a truck.

I got the rear bumper in the back seat with both "fins" /ends sticking out the back windows lol but yea definately get a truck or something to be easy for yourself
