Official bumpers have aluminum angle top & bottom, so they might rest against the chassis and not wood.
In previous years, we have done that to our bumpers for that exact purpose, and they passed inspection. Of course, we have a whole new set of bumper restrictions this year, so I guess the best answer is to Q&A it...
