A vehicle exterior part includes a decoration body including a layer structure formed by laminating layers in a front-rear direction, and includes a heater sheet including a transparent sheet base and a heater wire. The decoration body includes a transparent resin layer at a frontmost part of the decoration body and a decorative layer located rearward from the transparent resin layer. The transparent resin layer includes a general portion and an outer edge. A front surface of the general portion includes a general surface. The outer edge includes a bend surface that is curved or angular to a larger extent than the general surface. The sheet base includes a body located in front of the transparent resin layer and an extension extending from a periphery of the body. The body and a portion of the heater wire arranged on the body are located in front of only the general surface.

A system and method for protecting a foundation wall having an external side surface facing towards a soil and sitting on a top surface of a footing. The system includes a solid joint, adapted to be located adjacent and along an intersection of the side and top surfaces, that entirely and sealably covers the intersection and a lower portion of the side surface adjacent the intersection and at least a proximal portion of an external ledge of the top surface adjacent the intersection. The joint defines a free surface angled relative to both the external side surface and the top surface. In a cross section of the joint, the free surface, the lower portion and the at least a proximal portion form a triangular shape. A heating device extends along the joint and inside the triangular shape to selectively dissipate heat into the joint.
