Default Help! Really want to clean up my engine bay!

Hey guys, I just picked up a pt6262 turbo s2k.
The car was built great and runs amazingly. However, I am not entirely pleased with the way the engine bay looks. As I am new to the honda world and the FI world altogether, I don't really know what I can move/replace/add in order to make the engine bay look "cleaner" and less cluttered. Here is a picture of the engine bay as it sits. Also, I can send any parts I want to the powder coaters and have coated for free. So any suggestions on what to coat and what colors would be great as well.



I know I want to relocate that battery. Where should I put it?
And here is a picture of a couple engine bays that I find aesthetically pleasing.





And any advice on heat shielding would be awesome.
Thanks in advance!

The engine bays you posted look just as cluttered.

Relocate the battery to the trunk or under the passenger seat.

Move that catch can or get rid of it.

Get a new coldside charge pipe that doesn't have coupler after coupler for a BOV.

Remove or relocate A/C lines.

Remove cruise control.

Get a better looking filter, or an actual intake pipe.

I can go on...just a few ideas for you to get started

All good points. I'd do those, plus these:
Hide your vacuum lines going over the motor
Get a cover for the injectors
Get a coil cover

Post some better pictures(more angles) of your bay, that might help a little.

I would love to put the ARC Fuse Box Heat Shield. Will it fit with my turbo setup?

Get your A/C lines relocated through the fender.

Relocate the control box into another compartment.

put the Catch can over were the control box would be and get better looking lines
