    So I have a 2008 Tacoma and I’m not a fan of fender flares so I removed them and as we all know they have holes so I was wondering if anyone put single cab Tacoma front bumper and fenders on a prerunner bc they don’t have fender flare’s and possibly would do rear fender but I feel like it would just be easier to get filled and repainted.

    Yep those fender holes are definitely the first problem people notice with that truck. Good luck with patching them.

    I would just fill and paint them. Also, do you drive at night? If so, how the hell do you see the road with your lights pointed at the sky?

    Why not try something like gatorback plugs? Not sure if they have the color code for your truck but you might be able to get them color matched. Dealerships and some auto shops sell rattle can color match paint.

    Edit: Disregard those plugs, looked deeper and they are only for chebby trucks. Found another thread with a solution that might work for you.

    Fender flare holes are the least of your worry.

    My brother got his filled and repainted. Just find a reputable shop that can do a good color-match.

    I'm guessing right around eight packs of these bad boys ought to do you proud.

    Not a fan of fender flares looks cleaner like this in my opinion but would obviously be better without the holes
