Ask divemaster. He carries happ stuff, and for a lot cheaper.

Get cordhider at lowes. It is basically the same thing but you can get 5 feet for about $5.

You can also use the aluminum L bracket used to hang suspended ceilings it is used around the perimeter of the room. Cheap and easy to cut but may have to be spray painted to your desired color.

I used aluminum right angle stock from a big box store so I could paint it the way I wanted it to look, and choose the desired width that fit my marquee and cab the best.

So i found something that worked, instead of using an aluminum L bracket i found a plastic corner protector, does the same job, it only cost me 2 bucks, sweet. Found it in homedepot. Thanks for all the advice guys.

+1. This is what i used and it looks great.
Be sure to have a good pair of tin-snips / metal-shears for cutting the angles, they make the difference between a clean 45-degree and an ugly one. Buy a full length, that will give you enough to do it twice, best for Trial-and-Error.

As an aside, the hardware store may call this a Suspended Ceiling J-bracket
