Default Front Bumper Work & Clear Bra

I'm cleaning up the front bumper on my 03 I just bought.
I removed the ugly front plate holder and am having a body shop fill the holes, paint and clear bra.
My question is would you go for a perfectly smooth bumper or go for the stock look with dimples/indentations to make the bumper look untouched?
What say you?

He's quoted me $425.00 to take care of some door dings and one small dent on the rear left wheel well, I asked him about the front bumper and a new clear bra and he said add $300.00 so I said do it! Seemed like a killer deal to me.
I'll take some before and after photo's and post them up when it's done. I drop it off on Monday Morning, should get it back Wednesday 5/24 or so.

Just picked it up, they did a great job. This Z looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor (Well at least to me)

Thanks sinister, I went to take a pic when I droped it off and the batteries died, sorry about that.
It was pretty nasty though, the plate bracket indented it's shape into the bumper over the years and of course the two holes.
