ABSTRACT:
A stylized cover having a surface element and foam substrate is adhered to a steel or plastic base through said foam. Examples of plastic base materials include polyurethanes, polyamides, epoxies and structural foams of polycarbonates or polyesters such as polybutylene terephthalate. The plastic base may be solid or reinforced. The surface element may be highly decorated with chromeplating, metal, plastic, or the like. The syntactic foam substrate has unexpectantly good heat resistance, high compression strength, impact resistance, and is lightweight, and thus results in an excellent balance of property for lightweight application. A preferred use is the stylized cover such as a wheel cover.
