Automotive textiles, for example, can be matched with molded polymers to create tactile interiors for aesthetic purposes. But beware: Matching colors on disparate materials, such as textiles and molded polymers, is not an easy task. The glove box lid, ventilation covers, and even the center console all have been considered as applications that could shift from hard molded polymer to textile surface.
