Door sill protectors

My (new to me, but bought 2nd hand with 27 000 km) '16 Civic EX-T sedan has some pretty good scuff marks on the painted surfaces of the door sills, I guess the previous owner was lazy and dragged their boots over it. I'd like to try an adhesive sill protector to hide the scuffs and prevent it from getting worse. I see several available on the internet, I'm hoping for something that will fold over the first lip and remain adhered to the curve. Does anyone have any recomendations of what to or not to use?
My car is black, so I'm not interested in a clear film, I'd rather have black.

I don’t think anyone makes something like that. The hard plastic physical ones definitely do not go over the curve of the step.

Your best bet is to buy some vinyl yourself and cut however you want. Make a “door sill” out of cardboard to mock out where you’re going to cut and then cut the vinyl yourself. Your other option is to buy the existing vinyl ones that are available and then either buy additional vinyl and use the purchased one as your mock up but extend the vinyl coverage over the step lip, or just stick the purchased one on as is over the step but missing out on a little coverage more closer to the interior.

I was thinking about doing the same on my car since I have scrap vinyl from other wrapping projects. Just for reference, a 5' x 1' thing of 3M 1080 is only like $15-20 on Amazon, depending on color/pattern

Used to work at an Office Depot (quit fairly recently) and they let me use their large format cutter (cuts up to 36" wide) to cut my scrap vinyl into nice strips. 3" x 22" for the front doors, 3" x 12" for the rears. So far, I installed the driver's side ones

thanks much, that's just what I did.
I've ordered 5'x1' of satin black, I'll cut it the same way, we have large format paper guillotines here that can make sort work of this.

I also ordered the egg-crate grill and eyebrows to replace the garish chrome ones that were stock.
I'm hoping there's room behind it to put a set of decent driving lights.

I also took it a half step further and bought a fiskars round corner punch for aesthetics. It was on clearance for like $5 so I figured why the hell not.

haha, I have those in the industrial version for punching HC60 cork/nitrile gaskets with a punch and hammer.
