Aftermarket front bumper, help needed!!

Are there any aftermarket front bumpers that aren't lower to the ground than stock? I need one with a bigger opening for my front mount intercooler, it's huge. But I don't want to get one that puts me 3mm from the ground like a lot of aftermarket body kits do. Thanks in advance.

Also are there any aftermarket front bumpers that flow with the rest of the stock body or do I need to go full body kit?

a greddy or knock off fits behind a stock bumper, if your IC is larger than that perhaps think about a different IC

If you can find a half bumper like a Kanamari kit then you would be ok to cut the stock bumper and cover the cut with the new bumper.
I had one before and it doesn't drag or go "real low" like some of the Fiberglass stuff.(and this bumper is flexable as hell.)
These bumpers go under the molding and across the front with a separate section for each side of the car.
I think Shine makes a front half bumper too.

it fits behind the front bumper. It's just mostly covered by the bumper so it doesn't get flow
