Other Interior Components
Other interior applications for plastic include seat bases, headliners and load floors of glass mat thermoplastic (GMT) composite (polypropylene/fiber glass), door trim panels of ABS or GMT composite, and rear package shelves of polycarbonate/ABS or GMT composite materials. 
Plastic has revolutionized the interior of a car. It has proven to be an ideal material for creating comfortable, durable, and aesthetically pleasing interior components, while reducing noise, harshness, and vibration levels from the interior of the car. Plastic's design flexibility helps manufacturers create innovative, integral single-piece light weight components, while cutting costs, saving time, and helping lessen the problems associated with vehicle redesign.Image provided by the Automotive Division of the Society of Plastics Engineers International (SPE), a not-for-profit engineering society.
