This 1-piece PA 6/6 fascia bolster is tunable, thanks to stress
initiators designed into the part to control energy absorption and breakage,
enabling vehicle safety targets to be achieved without any body structure
changes.  It led to exterior body
craftsmanship improvements for fascia-to hood flushness (61%), gap (38%),
parallelism (33%), and deflection (43%) while reducing OEM labor 50%, and
saving 1.8 lb / 0.8 kg and $2.50 USD variable cost per vehicle.
