Where to buy door skin besides Mazda?

[InsidiousMSP]

Anyone know where to get a rear passenger door skin besides through Mazda? When I called, they said it was either $228 or $194. So I looked online and found sites like this,

http://www.1autobodyparts.com/productdetails.cfm?product_id=9077&model_id=236&make_id=22

That's for a '00, they didn't have any parts listing for '03. Is that '00 panel the same as the '03? If not, any help finding a discounted '03 panel would be appreciated. I would definitely like to save $130.

Thanks.

I just did a quick search on Google, they look the same on the outside. But, you never know about how it bolts up underneath. I found this out when we were mounting my intercooler. My bumper is mostly hollow thick white plastic with some small areas of Styrofoam, while Nicks bumper is Black Steel with a large amount of Styrofoam.

Had front passenger skin replaced because of body damage. The body shop I went to said they were not aware of any no OEM skins for the car, and I have an '02 made in August '01. This was in April.

Knockoff parts take a couple years. And quite frankly the fit is never the same.
