Making engine bay look less cluttered, is it possible?

The bay... It's to cluttered. I would like to know if anybody here has performed a wire tuck, or come up with a way to hide the spark plug wires on the H23A. This is my bay:



I was thinking Maybe I could get an H22A cover, and shave off the word VTEC. I do have a DOHC, just not a VTEC. That Cam cover has holes in it for a spark plug wire cover.. a definite plus.

Then I considered un-hooking the wire bunches from where ever they are, and lowering them down is possible to be more "out of sight." I didn't put much though ito it, but I also didn't have many hours of daylight to go scope it out yet to plan.

Does anybody have any suggestions for hiding some of that wire, and vacuum hose clutter, that do not involve getting rid of any of my creature comforts in the engine bay? Or is this mission impossib,e I'm on my own?

if you dont want to lose the "luxuries" such as a/c and p/s then you're pretty much out of luck.

you can hide most of that big wiring harness bs thats next to the passenger side shock tower under the fuse box... but thats pretty much it unless you start removing stuff

relocating the battery to the trunk also clears out a good amount of room. just a thought.

you can use some wire loom to bunch up some wires....

as for the VTEC valve cover.... I've asked this question and people said it is not possible to fit a VTEC valve cover on a H23A1 motor.... sad b/c I wanted to buy this Mugen one....

I saw Aries car in the mag, very cool Only saw the car in the photos posted on here, but maybe I'll go pick up the actual magazine today.

I figured it wouldn't get much cleaner with out un-installing a bunch of useful acessories, I daily drive this so I mean as long as I'm doing that I'm definitly going to need my A/c and power steering is a must.. I didn't have it on my pervious car and it was hard, and annoying to park the car anywhere. (Guess I'm just not strong)

Sucks that we can't use the H22A VTEC Valve cover, or else I'd buy one and shave the word VTEC off it, I just want a way to cover my plug wires, they look silly and I can't polish it correctly down in there just yet so thats another reason I wanted to hide that area. haha

I'll see about them wires on the passenger side by the intake, That would definitly be a start.. they are unsightly, and I'll go out today and see what will become of their relocation, thanks!
