Many years ago I worked for a guy who came to our company from Ford - one of the ways that he made his mark there was by figuring out how to save five cents (his quote) per metal ashtray by not plating the back side. Five ashtrays per car (remember those days?), five cents per ashtray, and a couple million cars per year comes to a half million dollars per year every year.
Note that much of the current automotive interior is outsourced to companies such as Lear Seating, no longer produced by the car companies themselves - it's all about the money.
