    Interesting find and looks well made. The thought of visible screw heads does not really work for me personally, but I am sure someone else will find it goes nicely in their car.
    What "thumbs up" really means

    I was thinking some sort of adhesive, but unfortunately, the wood does nothing for me, so I really didn't think it through. You do bring up a good point on attachment.

    To each his/her own, but I've never found this 'add on' style wood products to look good. If you can't go with the original BMW parts (which are nearly impossible to find), then I think the water-printed style like the ones DriftGirl is making are a great alternative.

    I would agree. The pieces that Drift offers are very nice indeed.

    My car actually has a kit very similar to this installed, courtesy of the previous owner. Mine uses adhesive instead of screws, is lighter in color, and is much more complete - there are pieces to cover up nearly everything, including the coin holders and other parts not shown in that one. I've never been a huge fan of it honestly, since the kit pieces are flat and you can see the curves of the original black plastic pieces underneath the appliques around the edges. Plus, the piece around the phone pocket / hazard switch on mine fell apart, and a replacement is not available anywhere at any price. I'd rather have a stock plastic set honestly, but can't really justify the cost to replace all of it at the moment so I'm living with it for now.

    There has been some success in the painting of interior pieces, if removal of your wood trim leaves evidence. Much cheaper than replacing all of the pieces, and some of the pieces are NLA.

    Great. More stuff that I think I need. Doesn't seem to matter if I really do need it or not, just the idea that won't go away.

    You only need the Shock tower plates, "Mandatory on these cars", Or you can look forward to fixing and paying the cost later of repairing the shock tower/s, Especially on lowered cars.

    Don't want to derail the thread, but what's the current source for those rear shock tower plates?

    Does remanufactured mean junk? Or has anyone had good experience with non-original Alpinas?

    What makes you think these are not original?
    Alpina wheels are just very good looking cast wheels made by Ronal.

    Likely lost in translation meaning "refurbished". Most of the "period correct" wheels for the E31 will have been refurbished or be in need of refurbish. I had to refurbish my Schnitzers and my Racing Dynamics wheels.

    Whatever the colour is, it's not Mint Green - looks more like Neon Green to me (only one CSi produced in that colour, too).
    I do hope this color looks better in the the flesh than in the pictures - not my cup of tea at all.

    It looks correct to me, here's another BMW in mint green:
    14971801428_3db3560fa4_z.jpg

    It's a pretty outrageous color, but then again the 850CSi is an outrageous car. I'd totally drive it.
