your engine bay is fresh, why hide it under the hood.
It will looks better with no hood, then how cars have open hoods at shows.
my 2 cents

It wouldn't hurt anything, I'd do it if I still had my SC.
Try it at one show, and just see how it goes?!

Usually the Honda guys that do that have SERIOUS wire tucks, and everything else hidden like a bare engine bay.

Calm down Steve... My guess is everyone will ask you, "What happened to your hood?".

I think you should do it to show the Honda kids/ F@gs what a real engine bay looks like!
