Not sure - seems to be glass. Not metal. I've had several different mirrors - this one is not only the biggest, butdoesn't bounce around as much as others. Really good mirror.

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.

Yes it is. The entire mirror is made of plastic with an acrylic finish which is inclusive of balljoint which allows for its unique swivel qualities. The suction cup is second to none compared with other similar type mirrors that I have purchased in the past where shortly after applying them to the intended surface they fell off and in some instances broke up. Not the case with this mirror.

It's cromed metal. Very easy to install. Just make sure the lock lever on the inside is in the right position when you put the two pieces together

I don't know that the original was a real mirror.... The replacement that they sent me was very much like what the original looked like. Regardless - it looks the same - it may be a heavy plastic - I can't be sure without trying to break it - but it looks and performs like a mirror. Hope that helps - we're happy with the price and ease of installation.

It is just pure metal all over. So far I have no problems at all with it. It have the same weight that a real one.

If you look straight on, all you see is mirror. If you peek from the side, there's about a 1" white metal frame that sits inconspicuouslyi and unobtrusively inside the the parameter of the mirror. It's not a problem.

I think it is plastic. It was really warped and didn't seem to have the heft of a glass mirror. I sent it back.

The frame, base, telescoping arm, screws, and all hinges are made of metal. The finish of this mirror is Oil Rubbed Bronze.

The aluminum is so highly polished I would have thought it was glass, had I not known otherwise. My one complaint is the metal seems to be very slightly rounded at the edges which causes a bit of distortion. If you need the sort of acuity you describe--and obviously you do--I would honestly recommend something with a glass mirror.

It is large very mirror. I can't answer it completely because I returned mine....the mirror is terrible! It's distorted, and I found it to be a piece of junk.

Yes, I have the exact same problem. The mirror looks just like a circus mirror. It is scratched and distorted. When you tap on it, it sounds like plastic. There was a protective piece of plastic on it but I tore that off and If there is another plastic coating on it, it is stuck so well that I cannot find an edge to peel it off. I have used a flash light and gone all the way around the edge looking for one. I am extremely disappointed. I have emailed the seller to see if there is a plastic coating on it and what the trick is to getting it off otherwise, no way the mirror can be used.

I think it's more of a flat metal. Mine is not too shiny around the edge just the mounted part. I recommend this mirror! It's easy to tilt too.

Hello, the mirror is glass, as far as I can tell. The mirror is flat, but it still works very well. It is the best mirror that I have used on my bike so far.
