The C5 is made of a number of different materials. Here's a breakdown for you

To answer your question the body panels are a special material called sheet moulded compound or SMC, similar to but not quite fibre glass. The main frame is steel



(1) RRIM (Reinforced Reaction Injection Molded)
(2) TSGS (Two Sided Galvanized Steel)
(3) UHSS (Ultra High Strength Steel)
(4) SMC (Sheet Molded Compound)
(5) AL (Aluminium)
