Default Integra Door - steel or aluminum?

I have a small crack in the door that needs to be welded - anyone know if the doors on a '96 Integra LS are made from Steel or Aluminum?

Very, very few cars are aluminum. Very expensive.

My advice is to use a small 110v mig machine and put spots over the crack. Space them out, then go back between tacks...over and over till they're about 1/4" apart. Don't try to weld it solid or you WILL warp your door. Then grind it flush, bondo and paint.
