Default help me choose a tank protector...

Just bought my bike over Easter, and it is getting delivered here in a couple days. It has a few small scratchy-scuffs on the tank, and I am looking at getting a protector to prevent further damage until i re-paint the bike.

Been searching, but without seeing the actual product in person makes it difficult when buying online. I want it to be black, and have the bottom contour the tank. I see a lot of them that are carbon fiber, i don't want that. Just plain flat or gloss black. I don';t want anything lighter than dark black, so it matches my blue/black paint, for stock '06 F4i. so...whats out there?

I like the ProGrip one, but want to see what else is out there. thanks...

Man life is full of hard decisions.

Naked lady FTW.

I've had the ebay 5$ fake carbon fiber ProGrip for years. Not really grippy anymore. The sun has basicallty hardened it into plastic.

Im using the same one as Sick97. I think it was $3 shipped from Hong Kong. It says Progrip at the top and looks like carbon fiber. I didnt want to spend $20 or more on a sticker so ebay was my friend on this deal.
