What color bra should I get for my car?

My front bumper has been damaged by a parking lot in NYC, instead of having it repainted, I am thinking of just getting a bra to cover the entire bumper (kill two birds with one stone), my question is what color should I get the bra in? Black or have them make it in matching silver.
This company seems to make nice bra's: http://www.sportsimportsltd.com/colmatcarbra.html

I hate bras. (Especially on women) They scratch my cars. I also have to re-paint the front then clear bra it.

I sort-of like that sea foam number i see the VS angels parading about on the TV in. Since you look a little droopy, be sure to get the push-up style. But seriously, bras are a PITA. If you repaint then I'm sure you'll have to wait a decent amount of time before 3M application and it might get beat up during that time. You should talk to Matt at Detailing Dynamics who did mine and is one of the gurus of that stuff. 747-4114

He wants to hide the damage with the bra and not fix it. I think I would just fix it, the bra is like a band aid and would eventually become a pain in the ***. How bad is the damage?

I'm with Red Devil on this one:
paint it and get the clear bra installed by Matt and Eddie at Detailing Dynamics
I have had many bumpers painted and the clear bra installed 2 days later with no paint related after effects...BTW by Matt and Eddie

matching silver - it will look more stealthy bud.

I'd paint it as well. The bras are just no good on your car
