My ghetto door sill solution
Well after a ridiculous amount of cursing and some beers, I managed to install my very own door sill things. Although they just cover part of it they do their job. No more scratches from my big boots.
So first I found these L shaped pieces of metal while cleaning my garage. Then I had a vision. So I measured where I wanted to put them and I think it was 19 inches? I could be wrong. So I cut them to the appropriate size with a hacksaw( which was a pain) then sanded them some and cleaned them. Then I bought some double sided heavy duty tape and I put them on. I also put one of the ends under the bottom lip of where that plastic comes on contact with the metal.
I think it looks cool. Someone told me to drills holes to keep them in place instead of the tape
Even though the metal already had holes in them to begin with but I wasn't gonna spend any money for non hole ones.
Total cost was $5 for me(just the tape)

Congrat's! Look's cool no-matter how inexpensive. What really strike's me is how easy you'll be able to keep that area clean. I've got Black Mopar pieces and there kind of a pinta.
