Default Whats with the ugly dizzy rap?

Just got my h22 in my hatch running but the ugly rap always had me worrying. I thought that it was just my motor but I checked a friends newer model prelude and he had the same ugly rap. Whats up with it? Is it to protect the wires from the heat? Is there anyother way to make this look any better? Thanks alot...........

I think he is talking about the wires that are wrapped going up into the side of the valve cover near the timing gears.

You got me?

be specific

are you talking about the cables that come out of the alternator? bcuz those arent even near the dizzy. but everybody has it and i think its just there to hold it in place and keep h2o from getting inside...

to the mod who changed the title.

you can either take the green tape off and re-wrap it with elec tape or just re-wrap it over the exisiting tape.
