can u post pix of ur trunk? by "feet" for furnitues, im guessing its those tiny pads advertised on tv to make furnitures more easilly to move across the floor? and u put them from inside the trunk right? not just over on the outside? thanks again ppl!

I used some blue vinyl tape to cover up the four holes where the bolts passed through. I left everything else alone.

Wingless, do you know the product name of those things you bought at Home Depot? I think I'm going to do that. Or can you take a picture up real close.
