Question Oil Cooler question??????????

I just swapped out my OEM bumper for a Feed Type II. It looks really bad ***. Love the 99 spec signals and bigger air inlets. But I noticed the oil cooler (driver's side only, not R1) does not line up with the air inlet very well anymore. When the OEM bumper was removed, the shop who did the work, also pulled off the duct. Guess it wouldn't work with this aftermarket bumper. Now there is a bit of a gap on one side of the cooler and with no duct it probably isn't getting the amount of air through it that it should.
Does somebody make a nice easy bolt on replacement oil cooler that stretches a bit longer in each direction to cover the larger space? I know there are dozens on ebay listed as 25 row, 30 row etc..But is there a kit that can just be installed to look half decent and work better than stock, specifically for a 3rd gen? I don't have the means or funds to have custom work done.
I've seen some dual core kits that look really nice and probably work much better than stock, but they were over a grand$$. Can someone point me in the right direction for a decent kit that doesn't cost a fortune.
Thanks

I would rather not use an R1/R2 dual kit because I would just have 2 cores that don't get the right airflow.
