There's been a few Jackson Custom Shop's with pickup covers over the years. I think the guitar will just look "Classic" and not ghey.

Plastic covers do have a slight tonal effect. I've always gotten a slightly "boxey" tone with them. Sort of a midrange honk/quack tone with a brittle high-end, but not as high-endy as a bare pickup.
Check out Iommi's tone on Wheels Of Confusion for the tonal characteristics I've always heard from metal-covered pickups.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

They will also take a bit of high end out of your signal, giving you a "warmer" tone. In order to do this they MUST be SOLDERED to the pickup, usually the baseplate. Using any sort of silicon to isolate the cover from the pickup will negate the effect of the Faraday cage and your pickup cover will be purely cosmetic.I'm not Ron!
