PRESS RELEASE

DECOMA ANNOUNCES COURT APPROVAL OF PURCHASE OF FEDERAL-MOGUL'S ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT LIGHTING OPERATIONS

Concord, Ontario, Wednesday, April 2, 2003 . . . Decoma International Inc. ("Decoma") (TSX:DEC.A; NASDAQ:DECA) today announced that Federal-Mogul Corporation has received bankruptcy court approval authorizing Federal-Mogul's sale of its original equipment ("OE") automotive lighting operations in Matamoros, Mexico, a distribution centre in Brownsville, Texas, an assembly operation in Toledo, Ohio, and certain of the contracts and equipment at Federal-Mogul's original equipment automotive lighting operations in Hampton, Virginia, to Decoma. The total purchase price is US$2.25 million plus an amount to be determined for inventory. The OE lighting facilities to be acquired from Federal-Mogul by Decoma have more than 400 employees and produce primarily forward lighting modules for cars and light trucks. This acquisition is scheduled to close on April 14, 2003 with a transition of the Hampton, Virginia assets to occur subsequent to April 14, 2003. The transaction is expected to generate approxima tely US$55 million of sales on an annualized basis which will increase Decoma's North American average annualized content per vehicle by approximately US$3.

Commenting on this acquisition, Alan Power, Decoma's President and CEO said: "This acquisition is another strategic step in Decoma's growth in the automotive lighting segment of our business. The addition of these assets compliments our recent successful acquisition of Autosystems and will position Decoma as one of the top five forward lighting suppliers in North America. The critical mass created by this acquisition will support Decoma's future growth in this expanding market segment."

Decoma designs, engineers and manufactures automotive exterior components and systems which include fascias (bumpers), front and rear end modules, plastic body panels, roof modules, exterior trim components, sealing and greenhouse systems and lighting components for cars and light trucks (including sport utility vehicles and mini-vans).  Decoma has approximately 14,000 employees in 42 manufacturing, engineering and product development facilities in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Germany, Belgium, England, Japan, France and the Czech Republic.
