No door skin available. The 4th gens use composite doors, so replacing the outer skin is not possible. Your best bet is to go to a junk yard to scavenge the stuff you need. Just keep in mind that grafting the plastic recess into your steel door isn't going to be real strong unless you reinforce the hell out of it.
