Unhappy Dyna chrome front fender tip

Would anybody know if the "HD" lower end chrome tip (#59664-03); is made of metal or plastic? Have seen metal ones.
I want to buy a METAL one. There is a PLASTIC out there too. JP AND Kuryakyn maybe these are the plastic ones??? Not sure; anybody know?

I bought a Kuryakyn one for my switchback, and it is plastic. It it held on with double sided tape. I thought the HD ons were metal and have screws that go through the fender.

Just got fender tail end flap/tip today. At first it felt like PLASTIC ; then I took my pocket knife and put a small scratch within screw hole. Its CAST METAL; to answer my own question.
Has the two sided tape on too with a allen screw.

composite plastic covered with chrome. Aside from the weight it's impossible to tell it's not metal without a magnet. If you have one give it a try.
