Really think you could benefit from moving your fuel pressure regulator to another spot so the fuel hose isnt running across the bay and then do some other clean up like if your regulator isnt on the shock tower you could prob make a cleaner run for the vaccum line on it...
Bay dont look too bad by the way..

I'm swapping out my D15B7 for a GSR; was thinking about taking out the A/C but maybe I will keep it in now. It is a nice thing to have for a daily!

What does the "tool" look like to crimp with mil spec plugs?
I have a crimp tool that will crimp the pins for the OEM connectors but just wondering if the MIL spec were the same...

You can shave a bay and do all this big stuff but as stated all the small things are what makes it pop hard and look nice... Like replacing all the bolts with nice new ones or taking the time to reapaint your brake booster and everything its just the little things that really make a tucked bay look nice.

You can order them in a ton of configurations. Here is some reading for you to get started:

Your bay looks good just needs some clean up on routing all the lines and also if your bay is a darker color like the outside of your car it will look cleaner also cause it wont be as easy to point out every line... But regardless just spending time rerouting will make a world of difference...

The sheet metal looks great in that bay, I wouldn't change a thing about it. It looks more functional without all the filler. Do what some of the others mentioned and work on the little details, it will make a huge difference... only big things I would change would be to move the battery and go for a different valve cover color.

You've got a good start though, keep it up. You could put a pc-680 or similar under the seat even, I have mine in the spare tire well. Wherever you put it, make sure its properly secured. Having it just sitting there in your bay is no bueno.
