I believe it's plastic with chrome mylar covered over it. Not sure. Pretty sure it's not metal.

It is plastic. It did install easily, does look great and has held up very well so far. It did make a big difference in the front end look.

Plastic made to look like chrome. I painted mine semi-gloss black. They were very reflective hit you in the face when sun was behind you. Sound great though.

It's plastic. It has a chrome look finish but all plastic. I like it a lot. I have had several Hansgrohe products and they were always good.

Plastic with a chrome finish. It's a very nicely engineered and finished piece.

The round cover is certainly not chrome-plated metal. It is coated plastic. The only exposed component that is metal is the handle itself which is chrome-plated brass if I'm not mistakened. But in answer to your question, the round cover is plastic.

plastic with chrome coat, the only metal on it is the connecter to the faucet.

The chrome reflector is metal and the grill on the front is metal - but the exterior housing is plastic. But the plastic parts do not get so hot that you can not lay your hands on it without getting burned; even on the 800 watt setting. I have no complaints on my heater. It does a great job.

It looks like chrome but it is plastic. The only metal is on the bracket that holds the flash. However, it is good quality plastic. although pricey, I love these speed boxes.

the body is not metal but it's very well built, chrome finish on plastic body. The metal body ones are available but much more expensive. I wondered if it would hold up myself but the price is so good I thought I'd give it a go.

I believe it is considered to be chrome. Which is a type of metal, my sister has the white one and hers appears to be chrome plated with a white painted over the top. Hope this helps

It appears to be plastic to me. It has a chrome finish and the pedestal is highly reflective--mirror-like.

It does look like metal, but it is a very strong plastic...and very durable. It looks great.

It is chromed metal, just like the original. The best, unless you find one cheap at a flea market or yard sale.

Mine is chrome plated metal. I am not sure what the base metal is, but the plating solves and reactivity issue.
