Universal Jems bobbin covers?

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read this, I am wondering what the scoop is on these? Obviously they are going to be a sticker, ok for 2$ I can handle that. But, how well do they hold up? I dont pick near the pickups at all, so I was thinking they would last a while. They would be going into a HxH rg7620 so they shouldn't be getting bumped or anything too much, it has a tonezone in the bridge and an air norton in the neck(both are black). I was going to do the bridge blue and Medium purple, then the neck pink and lime green. The guitar is vampire kiss. Thanks for your replies! have a good day.

I had great luck with the petrucci kit he makes, very bad luck with the bobbin toppers. They go right to the edge of the pickup, so even the slightest tap with the pick peels them up.

It's a $2 sticker, and holds up, and looks like one. :\

I got them thinking my pickup was trem spaced, and it wasn't Looked ridiculous, but I left them on for a month or so anyway. They don't look that great, but they look ok from the audience, I suppose

Why couldn't you just get an uncut sheet , apply it, and trim with a knife? Seems that would work better.. (?)
