Several reviewers said it's a metal hood, but product description states 'high impact plastic'.

At first I thought it was metal but after a closer look I'm pretty sure it's high impact plastic.

product description is wrong, it is made of metal painted flat black.. [URL=http://thepcaa.org/stark-raving-ted ]http://thepcaa.org/stark-raving-ted[/URL]

If it is high impact plastic, that is because the manufacturer changed the product. Mine is metal.

I would say a form of plastic but as I do not have a degree in analytical chemistry I really don't know. Looks to me like one of the high impact plastics they use in cars.

The one I purchased was poly plastic. I agree that this one looks like steel though.

It's definitely a hard plastic, not metal as Robert Krankel stated. However it doesn't feel like cheap plastic, and could easily be mistaken for powder-coated metal.I've dropped it a couple times on concrete, and it hasn't chipped or scratched or anything.

It's heavy plastic with the exception of a strip of metal along the edge of the lid with the lock.

Yes it is, but the knob that you use to adjust the speed appears to be a high quality plastic piece. I had to really look at it to tell if it was plastic or metal.

I dont know...but most things with "light weight" in their description suggest plastic inner workings.

It is not metal, I believe it is glass. The clarity of the mirror is outstanding, so I don't think it is plastic. As others have noted it is larger than many helmet mirrors, yet it is not heavy and is very stable. Best helmet mirror I've owned.

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.

It is NOT plastic. Whether it's chrome or another kind of metal, I don't know, but it is metal and quite sturdy.

It is plastic, however it looks very similar to metal when it is installed.

The one I received in October is plastic sandwiching plastic. However, it has been a good drive (at least the second one was), albeit expensive given the material.

It's not metal, although it does look like it (which is nice because it blends pretty well against the Macbook body). I think it's a plastic of some kind.

It is made of a thin sheet of plastic covered with a metallic reflective coating. Probably aluminum.

It is a very high quality plastic. I believe they can put most anything you want on it. I believe mine has the rules of what others or businesses can ask you. I do recommend this product.

Not sure, I think it is. It is very durable and solid so I don't think its plastic.

It says right on the roll that it is stainless steel with a plastic coating. It is not magnetic.
