Structural Aero Spoiler

A patented chemical foaming agent combined w/ASA in a non-traditional injection molding process was used to mold this aero spoiler, which reduces weight 1.5 lb / vehicle (for better fuel economy) and better meets customer requirements. The design allowed for parts integration while maintaining a Class A surface appearance and saving $5.6MM USD direct costs and an estimated $200,000 USD indirect costs due to reduced complexity vs. the previous process.
