Which pickup look would you go for?

As with nearly all my guitars I'm going to be swapping out at least one of the pickups from my LP Custom. The neck is actually fine, but the bridge is a bit wimpy and thin. Need more balls and all out rawk!
The cheap pups in there at the moment are now nicely worn, a look which I really like as opposed to shiny gold. However, I am a real sucker for zebras, and I just happen to have a spare zebra neck pup back home.
Simple question? Stick with the aged gold, but replace the pup underneath, or go for zebras?

Guitar as is:

aged gold seems to fit in with the rest of the hardware and also the aging of the inlays on the headstock/neck

gold looks good on that. tarnished and worn even better.

Zebras look cool on a black/ebony LP but those aged golds are even better. It would be a shame to waste 'em.

Zebras. And I'm visually trained.

(strictly speaking, so's Stewart, but he's wrong on this one).

Get some Skull Knobs as well Thom whilst your at it...

I dont like covered humbuckers, they slighty muddy up the tone. So my choice would have to be the uncovered zebras.

Double Creme. 70s flashback to when everyone stuck Super Distortions in everything.
