Abstract
The use of chromium plated plastic for outside rearview mirror housings in the automotive industry is a relatively new concept. This paper discusses the engineering considerations necessary to successfully apply this technology to mirror applications, as well as some of the advantages of the technology in the areas of weight, ease of manufacturing, styling freedom, and cost.
