But if you want to do it the easiest and sheapest way, just get color-matching (or whatever color/transparency you want) vinyl and just cut out shapes roughly the size of the brows (slightly larger in all dimentions), stick them onto the hl's and wait for adhesive to harden. When it hardens, take a razor and cut the overlay to the eyebrow shape

Couple of pics

This is from when I just did it:

And this is from year and a half later - vynil is still on, no problems/issues:

I got mine from Rvinyl also but it was a little short towards right by the turn signals, did you have the same problem Vlad?

Not really... it stretches when you make it wet... what are we talking about here, again?
