I installed a prototype set of 3 ramp protectors today and they look fantastic, even if I do say so myself 
I plan to drop these into my next laser run and hope to have metal in hand by mid to late April. Pinside gets the first look so, please, enjoy the show!

NIM! HA! 
Ok, can't order yet exactly but email me and I'll put you in my order hold list for when they are ready.
Jay I'll have to have a look at I500 pics. Been a while since I've had one here.
Thanks for the comments, guys!
Cliffy
I don't own this machine but thanks for your hard work protecting all of our other machines.
Great job and keep it up.
Thank you
Yeah quality work there. Given that its such a fast game I would have expected the ramps to break eventually without these protectors
I've received quite a few pics pretty much starting weeks after Tron was released showing cracks and total chunks blown out. Anthony sent me these pics from his game back in November. OUCH!
Wow those look great Cliff!!! I am sure glad we have people like you out there in this hobby developing ways to keep our pins as good as new! 
Quoted from J85M:Cliffy do you do IM protectors? Specifically right hand side of the right ramp?
For quite some time now, yes

Thanks to YOU bud, for making room to accomodate my Batman Forever. This gave me room to take in the Tron. Speaking of which I havent heard whether or not it's still welcome in your home

No problem at all. It is cool having another pin around and even better to know I am helping out a pinhead that puts in so much effort to provide the community with unique and useful products! I still have room for the wide body and am taking good care of it.

Ah! You truly are a king of pinball bearing gifts.
Any idea when the TRON protectors will be ready? Got a few friends aswell as myself that want IM and your SM protectors might aswell buy them all at once. Again great work Cliffy!

SWEET !!! I'll post this on the Tron Pinball facebook page !
After looking at those pictures, the only question that I have is whether it is easier to hit the GEM shot after removing the "U" target?!

Funny you mention that. I talked with Borg about this, he said that's the one thing he wished he would have changed and made that a slash cut entrance ramp to bring the right side slightly higher. It is a tough shot.

Very interesting! I know someone who would eat his words on this one. I always maintained that the GEM shot probably didn't turn out exactly the way that they wanted. Thanks for the info.
Just got the Cliffy for the SM kick out in the mail today. Thank you Cliff, I must say you one of the coolest pinball enthusiasts out there!
SM kick out? Huh....
I need tron ramp protectors too!!!
I did a little R&D with Cliff for the Tron scoop protector but I couldn't get it to work perfect. Glad to see the ramps will be getting the cliffy treatment soon.
Quoted from Jeff_PHX_AZ:Might as well get started on making some for AC/DC as well
Yep. Hope I can. I'll be talking to Steve shortly
Quoted from mnpinball:SWEET !!! I'll post this on the Tron Pinball facebook page !
I'll have to look for that. Thanks Jase!

LOL! I did put the target back Rob I think the hardest shot is the right mini-orbit under the ramp. Wow what a booger to hit!
