A decorative component for a vehicle includes a decorative body portion having millimeter wave transmittance and a heating sheet. The decorative body portion is configured to decorate the vehicle by being attached to part of a vehicle on a leading side in a transmitting direction of millimeter waves from a millimeter wave radar device. The heating sheet includes a plastic sheet and a wire-shaped heater provided on the plastic sheet. At least a main portion of the heating sheet is provided integrally with the decorative body portion. The thickness in the front-rear direction is set uniform in at least a transmittance area of millimeter waves in the decorative body portion and the heating sheet.

A fastener is provided for mounting a first structure having an insertion rib with a retention slot to a second structure having a mounting opening. The fastener comprises a U-shaped body having a bight portion at an upper portion thereof with a pair of outer legs depending therefrom. Each of the pair of outer legs terminates at a distal free end to engage an edge of the mounting opening when the U-shaped body penetrates the mounting opening. A pair of inner legs extends from the distal free ends of the outer legs toward the bight portion. The pair of inner legs has an intermediate protrusion configured to engage the insertion rib and bear against a stop in the retention slot to retain the U-shaped body on the first structure.

A device for a vehicle may have a fixed support, a sensor unit, which can be moved between a rest position and an operating position, and a protective element for the sensor unit and a decorative element, which can each be moved between a closed position and an open position. The sensor unit may be placed in its operating position when the protective element and the decorative element are in the open position. The sensor unit, the protective element, and the decorative element may be movably coupled to one another by a lever mechanism, and the protective element and the decorative element may be mounted rotatably and coaxially to one another on the support, and the sensor unit may be articulated on the lever mechanism.

A vehicle system includes a vehicle, a server configured to store position information, and a skirt coupled to the vehicle. The skirt includes a graphical representation. A global positioning system (GPS) tracking device is coupled to the vehicle and is associated with the graphical representation. The GPS tracking device wirelessly is coupled to the server and includes an electronic processor and a memory. The electronic processor is configured to receive, via a GPS interface, a position of the graphical representation, and transmit, via a transceiver, the position of the graphical representation to the server. The position of the graphical representation is accessible via an application on a mobile device.

A composition includes 100 parts by weight of poly(alkylene terephthalate) and 0.01 to 2 part by weight of a compound represented by Formula (1), a partially saponified derivative thereof, or a combination thereof, (1) wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and n are defined herein. The composition, which excludes copolymers of an unsubstituted or substituted styrene and an unsaturated nitrile, is useful for molding articles with very smooth surfaces. For example, the composition can be used to mold directly-metallizable substrates for automotive headlight reflectors and bezels.
