Default (PIC REQUEST) Rear bumper/lip to match stock 97 sideskirt

I'm looking for an aftermarket rear bumper/lip that matches the smooth and curvy styling of the oem 97 side skirt. My top choice is the KBD Aerocraft rear bumper as it follows the same curved edge of the oem styling, but I'm concerned it may sit too low compared to the skirt. Just wondering if anyone's rocking it, any tips are appreciated.

Used to run the KDB/Autocouture/Shine Auto rear with the 97+ skirts. It looks pretty good IMO, but the fitment was pretty bad around the tail lamps.

For the record I'm unsure if mine was a Shine Auto or KBD bumper, some fit OK, others are too narrow in the center and have almost a finger gap where it meets the corner of the tail lamp.

Do you think I should just run a stock 97 rear instead then? My experience with kbd is soso with a friend's 3g front bumper, but I like how much more definition the kbd has over stock.

I liked the look of the aftermarket bumper more, but the fitment is with ultimately drove me back to OEM 97+ rear. I've seen others with these bumpers that fit better than mine did so your luck may vary.
