High-end shields for the Skunk are available through crafting rare items (details here):

Crafting
Spami provided information on all crafting recipes. After all required items are collected, crafting can be undertaken at any time. This is achieved via the Inventory menu (Return-2-1-3 through sidebar, or <shift>-I).
Installation of engines and shields
in order to fit the shields and weapon, an unique mission must be found and accepted. Once items are crafted for missions, the item must be taken back to the respective NPC (so don't accept offers from soon-to-be hostile stations!). At which point, you can sell the item or ask for the equipment and you'd be directed to an NPC mechanic who can fit it.
