IX MR Rear Panel material makeup Question?

What is the rear panel by of the MR made of? Some old woman turned wide and rubbed my car with her Ford Explorer bumper. No damage to her bumper other than some marks. Mine looks to be just surface damage and most likely no frame/body damage as there wasn't really any impact; more just her rubbing my car as she turned wide.

I believe on the MR it's aluminum. I just want to make sure the body shop makes sure to get the right part if it's different from a non SE/MR Evo.

You'll notice in this pic I'll have to get the tail light replaced too.




A little rub on the bumper

It's steel on all evos, the only thing the MR has different is the roof, which is in fact aluminum. If it's just dented then it should be fix pretty easy, of course the whole side might have to be repainted. Good luck

Yeah, I'll check out a few places. May think about redoing the entire car to fix some hater scratches and other chipped parts near the front.
