Default 25th Trans Am Engine Bay

What do you guys think of my father's (25th Anni. Hardtop A4)? engine paint job? Polished and ported the heads out and intake manifold as well. The blue and white match the paint on the car and the stripe as well, regardless of the crappy iPhone camera.

It has ported/polished heads? Stock cam? Stock manifolds? Stock air intake?

Looks nice.

Yep, everything is stock except a Flowmaster muffler and window tint, 90K miles or something on it. Stripe needs a new one on the roof though.

that looks like a good start, can't tell how clean the fenders are from the pics, tell him he needs to get that alt and the surrounding bracket off there n cleaned up though it would look BA if the bracket was blacked out, maybe even a white alt case, not sure if thats over the top or not....

Yea, looks cool, it's unique Should paint the alternator, but I can't decide what color, black really is all I can think of that would look good and kind of blend in with the rest of the black as to not take focus away from the engine's paint job.

You should get a custom TB plate that has the right font and says "25th" diaganolly across it, painted the color that it says it on the car. Blue I assume, so the plate would be white with the wording blue. I think a front mounted ram air box would look really nice as you could then continue the paint scheme across the lid

I think just blue on the top of the intake manifold would look cooler since the car only has 1 center stripe. Unique and cool though nonetheless

Yeah, I agree with you on the one stripe on the intake manifold. I'm going to have him do the same but just plain white on the valve covers, and the entire block that Pontiac light-blue color after my rebuild.

The TB plate suggestion would be great as well, I'll put some thought into it.
