Can modified bumpers pass the annual inspection?

Modified bumpers cannot pass the annual inspection. Changes to the vehicle's exterior such as modifying front and rear bumpers, side steps, spoilers, exhaust pipes, tires, or custom wheels are not permitted during the annual inspection. After vehicle registration, the car's appearance must match the photo recorded on the vehicle registration certificate. Car bumpers are safety devices designed to absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the front and rear of the vehicle. Both front and rear bumpers of passenger cars are made of plastic, commonly referred to as plastic bumpers, consisting of three parts: the outer panel, cushioning material, and crossbeam. The outer panel and cushioning material are made of plastic, while the crossbeam is formed by stamping cold-rolled thin steel sheets into a U-shaped channel. The outer panel and cushioning material are attached to the crossbeam.
