3M Clear Bra is your friend.

The reason I said it is because it does obviously look like it was spray painted with a rattle can, and im sure its very noticeable in person.

Sort of makes the car look a little run down, JMHO, sorry man

So what you're saying is, you are going to 'hide' your bumper, and cause it's 'ugly', and it will be on all the time. Nice...not!

No one has ever said: that new bra really makes your car look great!
Don't hide your car under a bra, get the bumper repainted, then get a 3M Clear Bra.

Thanks you!
