Can someone direct me to the cheapest bra for a C55?

I am driving my car from southern Alabama to upstate NY mid-winter this year. I need the cheapest bra I can buy for the front end. I don't care how ugly it is. I just want the cheapest! Do the Wal-Mart ones fit? Can someone direct me to one?

The old black bras that people used to put on cars do much more harm than good. Especially in winter. In winter they tend to treat the roads with salt, sand,etc and it gets trapped by the bra and scratches the hell out of the car. PLUS, if the bra does not fit just perfect, it will vibrate and also mar the paint.
The cheapest is the painter tape - or you can get the clear bra (vinyl) kit on ebay pretty cheap - but can be a small challenge to put on if not experienced
