I think thirdgenresource.com sells new door panels, I also remember reading a post where someone had redone their panels and came out pretty good.

try a search for door panels

You have lots of options. You can use masonite or cardboard for the backing. You can use 3M adhesive, sheet foam, and an exacto knife to create custom patterns under your fabric. You can use this technic to layer different fabrics in a pattern as well. Go to JoAnn's fabric or the like and look around. Craft stores are also good. Of course you can always replicate the factory pattern with original fabric from an automotive upholstery shop (they can order almost all original fabrics).

There's a tech article on this site and the same one on my site with pictures on how to recover the door panels.
