I had similar problems with bars. I wanted to run carbon (for some reason) but I wanted to keep the classic look of quill stem (also had a threaded headset and fork that I didn't want to repalce). So what I bought was a quill with removable face plate made by 3T and called the Mutant. I think they might be a bit hard to find but look really nice. Here is a link:
