Should i get the Bra?

So on sunday i got a little.....well wasted and i was drving home and the pavement was wet and i hit a turn too fast and hit some bushes. Everything is fine except for the front bumper its all scratched up, no body damage just lots of scratches..now i was thinking of getting the bra until i get together enough money to get it fixed(im about to do the t top conversion) Now my question is Will the bra fade or damage the paint at all?

Is it too bad to be buffed out? If so, I'd get a bra for the short term fix. If it can be buffed I'd buff it or have it done.

Stimpy! You idiot! hahaha

No seriously though bras are ugly! Put the t-tops on hold and pay for your f**k up. That is what I would do.

Hey well if you already paid for the T Tops don't bother fixing the front bumper. If theres no cracks or damage to the car don't worry about right now. You're bound to get scratches on the front bumper anyways from normal driving.

to answer your question...leaving the bra on for a while WILL show fade and produce some scratching along the edges. It's inevitable. Happened on one of my last cars. BUT...it was waaay better than looking at the scratches. Of course...if you do use the bra and later get your car fixed...you'll also probably have to touch up both fenders and hood as a result of the bra. At least that's my experience.

How deep are the scratches? I had a bad brush burn on my front nose, but I buffed it out with McGuires #1 and 2 and it came out almost perfectly. Can't hurt to try. Good luck

Um, why are you worried about that?

It's already damaged and will need repainted anyway.

cuz only the bumper is damaged not the hood or fenders and i guess it causes fading so why would i pay extra to get the hood and fenders painted when i could aviod it.

Don't get a bra they're bad for your paint. I bought my car with a bra and my nice black paint turned blue.
