What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . The bill shaper device may be instantly applied to a cap bill and worn with a baseball style hat with a cap that has a shapeable bill extending forward and side-to-side with a sufficient distance to shade the forehead and eyes of the wearer. 
     
     
         2 . The brim shaper device is comprised of: a straight shaper strip slightly greater in length than the width of a shapeable cap bill. 
     
     
         3 . The shaper strip has an exposed upper side and a underside adapted to contact the top surface of a shapeable cap bill and is adapted to make a shapeable cap bill conform to the shape of the straight shaper strip. 
     
     
         4 . The bill shaper device of  claim 2  wherein the straight shaper strip is fabricated of a semi-rigid material capable of bending outwardly to receive the cap bill inserted between the tab and the shaper strip in a relatively flat configuration of the cap bill, shaping the cap bill. 
     
     
         5 . The bill shaper device of  claim 3  further comprises at least one pointed protrusion extending from the pair of curved arms and at least one pointed protrusion capable of engaging the cap bill and assisting in retaining the cap bill shaper in place on the cap bill. 
     
     
         6 . The bill shaper device of  claim 3  wherein the exposed upper-side of the shaper strip is capable of receiving indicia applied thereto. 
     
     
         7 . The bill shaper device of  claim 4  wherein the upper-side of the shaper strip is capable of receiving at least one decal applied thereto. 
     
     
         8 . The bill shaper device which may be instantly applied to a cap bill and worn with the bill shaper device in place on the cap bill. 
     
     
         9 . The bill shaper device is comprised of: a flat shaper strip slightly greater in length than a width of a cap bill. 
     
     
         10 . The shaper strip having an exposed upper side and a underside capable of contacting a top surface of a cap bill and capable of making the cap bill conform to the shape of the straight shaper strip. 
     
     
         11 . The shaper strip having an attached spaced tab at each end distanced from an the underside of the shaper strip by an amount equal to the thickness of the cap bill so that the tab is capable of securing the side edges of the cap bill against the underside of the straight shaper strip with a slight tight compression fit. 
     
     
         12 . The shaper strip having on the underside structural ribs capable of providing strength while creating a lighter device.
