Hey everyone, I just picked up a White Water project machine a couple months back and ended up installing one of the reproduction toppers from Twisted Pins. I bought this unused from another pinball collector for cheap as he found an original. To get the maximized waterfall effect on this reproduction foil I installed some washers in the back to mount it so it tilts forward. I played around with it until I got the effect I liked. I also installed the whitewater mirror decal that's sold on ebay for $9.99 to reflect more light. It didn't make too much difference but it helped a little. Since my Whitewater pinball machine didn't come with the topper, the topper wiring harness, light boards or chase board, I bought the full Topper hardware set from Great Lakes Modular. I set the chase board to the Dark water falls setting as that seemed to work the best, and installed 555 bulbs as the GLM board has a setting for these. I figured this topper is better than no topper. I don't have an original to compare it to but here is a video of how mine turned out when tilted forward. It looks better in person, but it turned out with a pretty good effect:

Here are a couple pics of the angle I mounted it at:
