    Looking for DIY suggestions to fill long cuts made in one of the wheel well flares.

    I assume there is some grey colored polymer I can simply press into the grooves?

    All responses are much appreciated.

    Welcome to TacomaWorld
    A good cleaning and application of Mother's back to black will make deep scratches less visible.
    Never heard of colored filler for plastic fender flares.
