are evo doors magnetic?

I'm about to buy some magnetic numbers for the track..does anybody know if they'll hold fine for track days? I know there are parts of the evo that are aluminum and I've heard aluminum isn't great at holding magnets. Just wanted to check before I buy em.. Thanks

Yes, the door skins are steel so magnets attach. I run a large magnetic number plaque for autocross.

Glad S2Kracka answered you. I was going to tell you to stop being lazy and get a magnet off the fridge and try to stick it to the door.

Not at all. I wanted a triple digit number because I thought there would be less of a chance of somebody showing up with the same number as me. And 149 just came to my head so I went with it lol
