Default Help with a new rear bumper

Please don't waste your time telling me to ditch the whole kit. I am just looking for some input on changing the rear bumper only. I am not sure what would flow the best with the VS kit. The reason I am changing is because to install the rear they had to remove the rear support beam. The rear bumper doesn't seem to fit very well and the body shop I went to blamed the kit for poor fitment around the trunk line. Any help would be appreciated.

That kit is pretty unique. I don't think you will be able to find a rear that matches or looks good with it.

From what I heard is that it took nearly 2 months to get it to fit close enough to not see any gaps. Good luck Mike with finding another bumper.
