Quoted from Lermods:

How much room is there to lift the playfield if you have mirror blades?

I was going to ask about mirror blades as well. Is the magnetic tape ultra thin and do you just put it directly on the blades? I just installed blades on lotr and I don't see room for much else.

I think the issue with the 45 degree is both could not be connected at the rear of the field and you'd end up with a visible wire at the front otherwise one way points 45 degrees down and other 45 degrees up..... Unless they made a left and right side model

I used corner guard from home depot, it comes in clear and I just put a strip of electricaL tape neatly across the top. Friends couldn't tell it didn't come in black. Corner guard costs like 3 bucks for 8 ft section and is light. I bought magnetic tape from Amazon and I'm using the 6.3v strip from australia.

I only did one and it's bright as all heck, going to switch to a controllable rgb that's dimmable, put it on both sides and dim it down to my liking.

Used 30 led per meter strips instead of 60 and it came out a brightness level that was just right. These were rgb but those rgb controllers broke off quite easy, so I just soldered to the blue.
