and a Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), relating to the offer
(the "Exchange Offer") by Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. (the "Company"),
Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. and certain subsidiaries of the Company (together
with Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc., the "Guarantors"), to exchange (the
"Exchange Offer") up to $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's
7% Senior Notes due 2012 that have been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, as guaranteed by the Guarantors (collectively, the "Exchange

by the Guarantors (collectively, the "Outstanding Notes") in integral multiples
of $1,000 upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the enclosed
Prospectus and the enclosed Letter of Transmittal. The terms of the Exchange
Notes are identical in all material respects (including principal amount,
interest rate and maturity) to the terms of the Outstanding Notes for which they
may be exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer, except that the Exchange Notes
are freely transferable by holders thereof, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of the enclosed Prospectus and the related Letter of Transmittal. The
Outstanding Notes are unconditionally guaranteed (the "Old Guarantees") by the
Guarantors, and the Exchange Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed (the "New
Guarantees") by the Guarantors. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal, the Guarantors offer to
issue the New Guarantees with respect to all Exchange Notes issued in the
Exchange Offer in exchange for the Old Guarantees of the Outstanding Notes for
which such Exchange Notes are issued in the Exchange Offer. Throughout this
letter, unless the context otherwise requires and whether so expressed or not,
references to the "Exchange Offer" include the Guarantors' offer to exchange the
New Guarantees for the Old Guarantees, references to the "Exchange Notes"
include the related New Guarantees and references to the "Outstanding Notes"
include the related Old Guarantees. The Company will accept for exchange any and
all Outstanding Notes properly tendered according to the terms of the Prospectus
and the Letter of Transmittal. Consummation of the Exchange Offer is subject to
certain conditions described in the Prospectus.

     PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EXCHANGE OFFER WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 A.M. MIDNIGHT, NEW
YORK CITY TIME, ON MAY 19, 2005 (THE "EXPIRATION DATE"), UNLESS THE COMPANY
EXTENDS THE EXCHANGE OFFER.

     The enclosed materials are being forwarded to you as the beneficial owner
of the Outstanding Notes held by us for your account but not registered in your
name. A tender of such Outstanding Notes may only be made by us as the
registered holder and pursuant to your instructions. Therefore, the Company
urges beneficial owners of Outstanding Notes registered in the name of a broker,
dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to contact such
registered holder promptly if such beneficial owners wish to tender their
Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer.

     Accordingly, we request instructions as to whether you wish to tender any
or all such Outstanding Notes held by us for your account, pursuant to the terms
and conditions set forth in the enclosed Prospectus and Letter of Transmittal.
If you wish to have us tender any or all of your outstanding notes, please so
instruct us by completing, signing and returning to us the "Instructions to
Registered Holder from Beneficial Owner" form that appears below. We urge you to
read the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal carefully before instructing
us as to whether or not to tender your Outstanding Notes.



     The accompanying Letter of Transmittal is furnished to you for your
information only and may not be used by you to tender Outstanding Notes held by
us and registered in our name for your account or benefit.

     If we do not receive written instructions in accordance with the below and
the procedures presented in the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal, we
will not tender any of the Outstanding Notes on your account.
