Copy of 2004 RX-8 Title Needed!
Hi everyone,
I'm going through a salvage inspection for the first (and last) time with a 2004 RX-8 I recently bought. I made the mistake of buying a bumper from a body shop that had taken it off a customer's car who was in to get aftermarket bumpers installed. The body shop gave me the VIN for the donor car, but the inspectors are refusing to pass me because I don't have a copy of the title for the donor car.
Is there anyone here who could provide me a copy of their title that I could use to pass this inspection? I'd be glad to pay someone for their trouble. My only other option at this point is to buy a brand new bumper from the dealer, have them take off the one I purchased, swap the new with the old, get the car re-inspected, and then have the dealer swap the bumpers again, leaving me with an extra bumper.
Thanks everyone!

This sounds exceedingly odd.
I caution anyone to get more information before providing a copy of your title to a first time poster on the web.
Why would a copy of the title of the donor car of a bumper be needed at all, for any reason. If it fits, it's clearly from the same make and model. I get that it's a salvage inspection, but this makes zero sense. The bumper isn't even a structural component!

Thanks for your concern, but this was a post asking for help; not warnings. If you'd ever gone through one of these inspections then you might know what a nightmare it's been.
I'm only looking to pass this stupid thing so I can register the car I bought.
Again, anyone who is willing to help can see a copy of my rejection notice before they send me a copy of the title so they know I'm not trying to scam them.
Thank you to everyone who is willing to help a fellow RX-8 owner.
