I personally don't care for the aesthetics of standard lollipop rails on most games. But, i would like to get some powder coating done and would still possibly like some armor. Stern is using the angular design on the LE and accessory rails which I much prefer. Even some of stern's older accessory armor like GB and SW use this shape around the flipper buttons.

Is anybody offering an aftermarket blank rail/ armor with this type of shape?

To be clear, i’m just looking for raw steel armor with this shape as opposed to the typical rounded lollipops.

I would imagine the main powdercoat guys can get them or maybe even have them made. I've seen examples posted. Seems Terry might be interested in making them too. He has his own lollipops made, so I would think he could do these if there is interest. I certainly prefer this style to the lollipops.
