why do people help make old cars look bad

Great. Just Great.
My bumpers are fubar.
Was considering black or body colour. Now i have to find the cheesiest silver so i can get raked over the coals for being so stupid.
Its bad enough i have to repaint engine bay,as last guy painted it black.

All kidding aside, im set on black for my bumpers,but will always be on the hunt for decent chrome to replace them.
For what car?
