| Summary: The chrome sidewind deflectors uses thermoformable bright metalized film laminated to an ABS substrate in a single production step. This process eliminated the expense of traditional chrome plating on plastic or metal – something that was tried on this part but failed. The application was subsequently extended to several other models and vehicles. | |||
| Most Innovative Feature: This product utilizes a bright metalized film laminated to abs creating a part that could not be achieved through traditional chroming process failed. | |||
