Rear wheel well decal or sticker
I just scratched my 2014 350 while parking in a tight spot. I scraped the driver side rear wheel well along a concrete column. There is one big scratch the size of two quarters and then smaller less deep scratches along 1/4 of the length of the wheel well. It will either need a paint job or it will look terrible so I was thinking if there are any body color (ultra white) decals or stickers like the ones on the rear doors to cover up the two wheel wells?
Anyone have any other cost effective ideas to fix it?

Sorry to hear that happened man.
Can you post a pic, it might give us a better idea on suggestions.

The most cost effective idea would be to use something like Dr. Color Chip. You'll need to clean, then polish the area to see what areas will need to be filled in. Then just use the Color Chip system to fill the scratches. It won't look perfect, but you won't be able to tell from 5 feet away.

Post a pic and I'll recommend a way to fix it short of taking it to a body shop.

Replace it.
My passenger side quarter got scraped on a condo parking pillar before I had it The stupid Lexus dealer bodyshop surprisingly did bit replace it. It has chips all over, but mostly because of the s&!+ repair with sanding marks from the filler. The metal was not dented .
I got tapped on the drivers side front fender and the body shop recleared the rear quarter but didn't put the oem ppf on but it has been holding up well.
But because of the design of the car being narrower in the front and wider in the rear, chips are bound to happen.
I plan to replace after a visit to the bodyshop for some refresh.
