Default 04-07 CTS-V factory aluminum hood?

After attempting to clean up what I thought was rust under my hood at the latch I discovered that it was a white powdery dust. I took a magnet to the section that was pitted and discovered that the hood was aluminum! Awesome.
Do all 03-07 CTS and 04-07 CTS-V have an aluminum hood?

Don't know about the base CTS, but all STOCK V's do.

Regular cts also has aluminum hood also. I just checked the other day. My CTS V also has some rust starting on the front of the hood above the chrome grille.
