If you ask real nice in a PM, I'd bet that there might be someone (like me for example) that might be willing to stop by a local PB's and send you a pkg or two. How many pkgs are required to do two doors Randy?

Pep Boys charges $30 for 10 feet of it, so I figured it would take 3 packages to do both doors.

PM me with your address, etc and I would be glad to pick some up for you.

Thank you Randy Jack. I sent you a pm.

Thank you as well, AXracer. California is closer than North Carolina, so you're off the hook!

Gary - I didn't see a pic of the second one, but from the description, no it isn't the same.

Nixer - No, this stuff isn't just a half round (bubble) on a backing. I haven't seen it anywhere else.

AX - Good plan.
