    Wavy? Like it's coming loose?

      sun-dry rotted

      Is surface smooth? If yes, grab a heat gun and something heavy, and straighten them out.

      If surface is horrible, replace.

        Yea the surface is smooth. The shroud stip is not flush with the DB..

          Take the bumper off, and check the clips/nuts on the inside. It's possible that they're broken or missing.

            I don't think we are talking about the same thing, but I could be wrong..I'm talking about the bumper surround strip that runs on tope of the DB...

              This seems like the only way I can fix it. I'll try it out...

                Ahhhhh you're talking about the bumper surround. I thought you were meaning the actual rubber "impact strip" in the front of the bumper. That being the case, I'll agree with Aptyp.

                Think I've got a pretty good set here somewhere from my bumper swap too........

                      You need to loosen the mounting screws and enlarge the hole in the plastic strips left-to-right. Then don't tighten them down too much, as too tight binds & tens to warp the strip.
                      You will need to get the strips out in the sun and place a cinder block or something else heavy to flatten them.
