door skin = the outer part of the door.

there are none aftermarket.

3 options

1) buy new doors from someone parting
2) have a body shop fix/paint them
3) go to toyota

Damn thats what i figured. i hate the rust along the bottom portion of the door. I think it would be an expensive fix, and i woudlnt want to buy someone else's to find out a yr later they are all rusty again. hmm

yea, there really are no good options for our doors, and they ALL rust eventually.
best thing to do, is depending on how bad yours are, either repair them properly. or, find a set of good doors, and clean them up VERY well, then possibly drill a couple more drain holes for the water to seep out, and then coat the inside, and the lower inner door with a rust preventer, like POR15 or somthing, to help stop them from rusting in the future.
i did a set of doors i got from D's parts car that were in very good shape, with minimal rust on one them, and treated them like i discribed above.
:::knocks on wood:::: ive had good luck so far, we'll see how it is in a few years...lol
