I'm not convinced. Obviously all this is a matter of taste but I see no point in making the insides of a bumper skirt visible. IMHO there's nothing fancy about wires and led modules (at least not on the upper side of the playfield).

I remember having seen a HEP MM restore long time ago where he had put black heat-shrink tubing on the wires along the ramps, which made them blend away and hardly noticeable anymore. I definitely prefer that approach. But again: it's all a matter of taste. Fun is all that matters.

Quoted from vid1900:

Old pop bodies were translucent.

That is possible. Compared to current bodies. But these are truly transparent. Your solution makes sense to hide the guts whilst adding light.
