Automotive exterior component

An automotive exterior component, comprising:

• an outer panel,
• an inner that is arranged along the outer panel on an inner side of a vehicle body relative to the outer panel, and
• a plurality of joints having a spot shape that join the outer panel and the inner,
• the plurality of joints arranged forming a first direction joint row in a first direction and a second direction joint row in a second direction, the second direction perpendicular to the first direction, each of the first direction joint row and the second direction joint row including at least three joints of the plurality of joints,
• joints of the plurality of joints forming the first direction joint row being arranged at an interval from each other in an aligned relationship in the first direction, and
• joints of the plurality of joints forming the second direction joint row being arranged at an interval from each other in an aligned relationship in the second direction-,
• wherein:
• a curvature in a direction along the first-direction joint row in a region of the outer panel corresponding to the first-direction joint row is smaller than a curvature in a direction along the second-direction joint row in a region of the outer panel corresponding to the second-direction joint row;
• and
• the interval between the plurality of joints in the first-direction joint row is greater than the interval between the joints in the second-direction joint row.
