In the state of GA it has to be fix by a certified rebuilder. I also suggest when you get it inspected don't go to the inspection station be patient and let them come to your house cause at the inspection station they put it on a lift and they will fail you easily. If they come to you how the inspector is not gonna wanna get dirty...lol. If you do decided to go to a inspection station make sure you tow it there. If you drive it there it is an automatic failure.
