Default Vinyl Door sill protector

The previous owner removed the vinyl door sill sticker, and I've got some paint chips in that area that I'm wanting to cover up. I can get them on Ebay for like $120, or I can get some carbon fiber vinyl and make my own with the vinyl cutter where I work.

Odd request, but can someone take a photo square on perpendicular to the cover so I can trace the contour to get a good cut path? Bonus points if you can place a 1"x1" square piece of paper on it so I can ensure proper scaling and that the angle isn't distorting the shape. All the photos I'm seeing on Google are standing outside the door at a 3/4 angle. I need straight down to get an accurate shape.
