Kick-plates/Door sill trim covers - suppliers & quality?

[MJL944]

OPC Nottingham tell me I can't get official Kick-Plates/Door sill trim covers for a 944. So, can anyone advise me regarding the available options, please?
All I can find are a couple of Ebay suppliers + Porscheshop:

Can anyone vouch for the quality & fit of any of these?
Any other options?
I'm not a huge fan of the stainless steel look (especially against an Alpine White sill) so can anyone point me to some suitable black kick-plates?

BTW - I know these covers aren't to everybody's taste so please no 'I like 'em'/'I hate 'em' comments! Not that I have to justify my desire for a pair but there's a couple of scuffs on the passenger side door sill I want to cover and the one passenger I've had in the car gave that sill an almighty whack on the way in & out but, as the culprit was my mam, I wouldn't dream of saying anything! I'm not putting these on to hide any rot!
Cheers

Thanks Ashley - I'd not seen any like those before. Unfortunately, I'd prefer something a bit more substantial than vinyl and I'd prefer to have the lip that follows the shape of the sill which the aftermarket stainless steel items seem to have.
Your find has made me realise there's probably some alternatives to be found on foreign eBay sites though.

You could buy the stainless type and have a graphics firm wrap them in black vinyl or carbon fibre effect vinyl ?

Covered mine in matt black vinyl then some cheap chrome pads from ebay...looks good IMHO

Rubbish photo but

flat carbon with porsche engraved, they were from a company that made motorbike parts but I think they went under a few years back, cant even remember the name now sorry.

I had the stainless ones that follow the sill profile on my lux, they used to annoy me as you could see them from the side when the doors were shut.

I've Prestige Parts sill covers. There're brushed stainless steel and folder over the edge of the sill. The decal is self adhesive vynl. I chose this type because:

steel scratches much less easily than aluminium, important for sill covers
the folded edge protects the vulnerable sill edge
they are full length, yes you guessed, because it provides more complete protection.
