Default Db 9 and dbs

So I have a few questions but I was wondering what material do they use for the door skins on the DB9 and DBS? Is it aluminum or steel? Also what are some of the differances between the DBS and db9? Other than engine and tuned suspension?

DB9- aluminum doors
DBS - also aluminum (originally thought CF)
Steel would be a bit too subpar...
DBS also uses CF for the hood, trunk panels and I think in other places, as mentioned above in the brake system, I think the only things on th DBS that are not CF are

1) The roof (if not a Volante)
2) The door skins
3) The rear quarter panels

DB9 uses some composites...do not think it is CF

CF is costly... which explains the price difference

Otherwise refer to post above... very informative
