Currently getting around $12k in much needed R & M work done to my new D. The budget does not go far enough to include getting the front fascia replaced and painted. The paint is pretty good but there is an impressive eyebrow. Just wondered if there is anything one can do to improve the eyebrow? Any thoughts most welcome. Thank you.

If you do a search here you'll find many threads on this subject. Fixing this basically requires the removal of the fascia for gluing down (or leaving in place if you're wedging" reinforcement stripes (steel/stainless, etc) inside where the "eyebrows" are to hold the correct shape and then reinstalling.
