A vehicle interior panel (14) such as an instrument panel includes a substrate (30) having a thickness between 0.5 mm and 2.25 mm, inclusive, a decorative layer (28), and an intermediate layer (32) located between the substrate (30) and the decorative layer (28). A post-form warpage of the substrate (30) is less than 15 mm at an edge region of the substrate (30). A a serpentine rib (50) located near the edge region helps impart structural rigidity to the panel (14) during a foaming process to achieve an adequate degree of post-form warpage.
