Lexan parts

From Goliath Business News:

DaimlerChrysler's "smart car," which features exchangeable thermoplastic body panels, is heading to the U.S., the world's largest automotive market. The successor to the "smart for two" (two-seater) will be available in U.S. markets in three models beginning in 2008. The OEM's decision follows the successful launch of the car in Canada and increasing demand for affordable, fuel-efficient small vehicles in the U.S. The "smart" features snap-off body panels molded of scratch-resistant polycarbonate.

Resins from GE Plastics have been used in four key applications for the "smart" since its introduction in 1994. Xenoy[TM] resin has been used for the glossy exterior body panels, which feature molded-in color. Lexan[TM] SLX film is used in place of paint in the black sunroof surround component. The instrument panel features multiple components molded from Cycoloy[TM] resin, plus Visualfx[TM] resin with its special colors and effects. The headlamp lenses are molded of Lexan, and Ultem[TM] resin is used for the reflectors.
