Rick, Mof is correct about the placement of the windows and GL being a late bloomer going into production.
I got my proto glass from an ex WMS employee who said the sales people were bitching because it was "too dark..." (read: "spooky") "...for the 7-11's" so they had P.A. do the "new" bg with what I have dubbed the "poo font". 
Which reminds me (sorta) of a favorite joke:
"What kind of hairdos do ghosts have?"
"Boo-ffant!"
Happy Halloween!
Quoted from nephasth:If you really want to take on a project... design some plastics that correlate better with the playfield and proto backglass art.
I wouldn't suggest that unless you wanna be visited by the ghost of P.A! WooooOOOoooo!
Quoted from Aurich:That might be smart since the PPS website says the official plastics aren't due until "Early 2105".
They are already available and on the front page of their online store. Not sure which PPS website you be looking at.

Ha! I didn't even notice the date. Then again, I get pretty dyslexic when it comes to numbers. 
Your URL works fine. Here is the product that is for sale now.

That said, that isn't the set that I worked on, not sure when those will be available. I know they made it to the laser cutter and should be shipping soon. Only guessing, but I imagine PPS uncovered the artwork during their IPB digging while the set I was working on was in production. The only difference I can tell is that the set I worked on comes with some extra slings.
Quoted from Luzur:are there any plastic replacements aswell? for playfield i mean.
Yes!

"Yes!"
Quoted from Luzur:No, i meant in the same style as the prototype backglass.
Oh... No!
I played a part getting the repros available now remade. If I got my hands on this set in the photo - it could potentially happen!
I saw these too. I wonder if they were part of the sample machines that went out with the original glass that got nixed?
I like the concept of these plastics better but that blue is crazy. Should be more grey like the rocks on the PF.
