Default Best diy repair for chips in bumper cover

I have two chips behind my rear wheel, on the lower part of the wrap around bumper almost at the edge of the wheelwell (they are about 1/4 to 5/16 inch in diameter and are too deep to paint over and not still be obvious to me). It is not that noticable since it is fairly low, but it does bother me. I did paint over them and not too bad, but not too good either.
Without taking the car to a body shop, is there some sort of a filler or other fix you fellows can recommend? I also thought of putting on splash guards since I think they would cover the chips and liked the way they looked on other cars I have had. Does anyone have the website for the Lexus specific splash guards and/or photos of the installed product on the LS?
Thanks in advance.

i think L-tunedparts.com carry those but are on a order basis. You might try to contact them and see if they can help you with that.

if the chips are too small to notice I would say leave them and it might cost you to repair it at a body shop. You can try to get 3M clear shield to cover your front bumper, about 1/4 of the hood, side mirrors, and behind the front and rear wheels.
