I would suggest you take the "road more simple" and find an older model rubber bumper with shock mounts. Install it, pass inspection. And then simply change it back to whatever you want. Do the same with any other "problem" parts. It's a hassle but easily the less complicated solution to getting back on the road. No policeman will ever do a tech review if you get stopped in future.
