here's the scoop. i'm looking to do a few cosmetic changes to my 2 month old mim hss strat. i already have ordered a white pearloid pickguard for my lake placid blue axe.

i also want to change to a few chrome accessories. i have located chrome knobs, and pickup covers for the single coils.

i am, however, having trouble finding a chrome cover for the humbucker. this pickup has 2 mounting holes at the top, and 1 at the bottom.

i would prefer not to use a "generic" cover, but one that looks like it belongs.

any ideas who might have them?

This is pretty much irrelevant when it comes to the cover as the cover is soldered to the base of the pickup and doesn't extend down to or past either leg of the pickup.

Your chief concerns at this point would be the polepiece spacing of the cover matching up with that of your pickup unless of course, you want a solid cover and that the cover itself is not made of brass (meaning, cheap) as this will affect the articulation of the pickup.
