Default DIY Home Depot Lip (56k be warned)

Hey Guys,
After searching a bunch and liking the many other lips out there I decided to do my own.
I first started by searching. I read about 60% of all the DIY Lip Articles.
I decided on what I needed and then I made a list.
I then ventured off to Home Depot. After 10 mintues of not finding anything I asked for help. I was looking for Base Cove Molding but what they had looked nothing like it. It had ridges and it looked nasty.
Lowe's was right accross the street so I decided to go there to see if they had what I was looking for.
I found FlexTrim its a molding that came in rolls that looked like the other lips posted.
Here is a picture of the box
(along with my dog )
here is a close up


For screws I got these

Its getting late and I will continue tomorrow.

Dave

damn man i knew all those boxes of flex-mold were good for something. I work at a door shop and the owner bought tons (literally) of that crap because the price was low. And now it is sitting in our lunch room. I'd like to see what it looks like on the car

The stuff i got is self stick. The people at Lowes told me that people just apply it to walls instead of using glue. So I will just ust the self stick and use the screws just in case.

Should use Bolts instead of screws, or actually rivets are the for this kind of job.

Bump for update pics...
