I think someone has fit one bumper maybe two in the trunk with the back seats down.

I've has an SVT front, mirko and sideskirts in the trunk at once. I think you could do both bumpers with a little patience.

I'm thinking that the front seat needs to be layed down and that might help, any ideas one how they got all of that in there?

I seriously doubt it...we put a front in Stylin55oh's and it was tight w/ some flexing (he had a passenger). The rear is much more rigid & won't give as much as the front. Not that I would recommend them flexing for any amount of time, you don't want them to warp, especially in this heat now.
 Take some tools w/ you & swap out the bumpers & jamb your old ones in the car

SVT front is doable because it has much more flex to it. The SVT rear has the bumper brace on it so not nearly as much play. The only way to transport both would be to have parts of them hanging out of the trunk, which would be ok for a short trip but not entirely safe for long trip/highway speeds.

The rear seats don't fold down flat, so maybe removing the backs to the seats will give enough space to fit both.
