You can buy the aluminum strip from bartons or probably other places. I bent mine myself and just used a file to clean up the corners. Came out great but its a pain in the butt.

I ruined the first set of aluminum strips I tried bending. The second time I made a template. I had a piece of 18ga and cut it to the round corner shape and but it in a vise and had a friend help me bend it around. It worked pretty well and just had to work out a few tiny wrinkles in the aluminum.
