Default smooth bumper on 97+ sc?

Just wondering... I have a vertex kit on my 1993 sc300 and I miss the smoother front bumper from before the bodykit. SOOO has anyone ever seen the 97+ bumper without that silly, nonsenceacle upper grille? Or can anyone photoshop that on to an sc with the vertex bodykit?

I think it would look better on a stock 97+ or SC bumper than vertex.
It would get rid of that "forerunner to SC430 failure" look that 97+ has.

I personally like everything on 97+ SC's. But if it really bothers you that much I would think you could fill it in with bondo and paint it again.
