          Application No. 08/087,227                                                  

                                      APPENDIX                                        
               8. A multilayer polymeric shaped structural shell having               
          a top layer of acrylic resin composition or polycarbonate                   
          resin composition which is striped in appearance and is                     
          textured and an ABS composition underlying layer obtained by                
               extruding a first acrylic or polycarbonate resin                       
          composition of a first color to form a first extrudate,                     
               extruding a second acrylic or polycarbonate resin                      
          composition of a second color to form a second extrudate,                   
               mixing said first extrudate and said second extrudate in               
          a manner effective to form a mixed extrudate having a striped               
          appearance,                                                                 
               coextruding said mixed extrudate and a third ABS                       
          composition to form a sheet comprised of a top layer comprised              
          of said mixed extrudate and having a striped appearance, and                
          at least one underlying layer of said third composition,                    
               passing said sheet between at least two rollers, with the              
          roller in contact with said top layer being textured to impart              
          texturing to said top layer, and                                            
               thermoforming said sheet into a structural shell having a              
          striped and textured top layer.
