Well, inspection sticker fraud is illegal so it really shouldn't be made public. We get this a
LOT on here. Everybody is used to the "I need an inspection sticker and I won't pass legally..." threads so some posts will practically be canned responses. But since you asked I'll try my best to answer what I can.
1.) They will ask to see your registration. If it doesn't match the car then you fail. You will also have to swap license plates. If you don't to that, then you will fail.
2.) Assuming your brother's car is a clone of yours then of course you can put your PCM in it. I don't know if that's going to make any difference though. I installed a mail order PCM in my '97 GTP and sent my original back as a core. I did not tell the mail order company my VIN ahead of time.
I have never failed inspection and the VIN on my inspection printout sheet matches the one that's on the car- which would lead me to believe that they don't always pull the VIN from the PCM. If they did, then mine wouldn't match.
3.)
He should never "hand you a sticker" to install yourself. He should be the one that installs it. So he would scrape your brother's good sticker off and put the new one on, leaving you with nothing. If he was going to just hand you a sticker and tell you to be on your merry way you might as well just buy a damn sticker from him outright.
