I just checked for my NX, because I am living in Austria currently. The cost here is $200.- with installation. 600.00 (5hr labor) is crazy.

$200 with installation is pretty decent I would do it.

I decided to do it myself after reading the instructions lot of times.. plus already had the parts waiting for me to do it.

I spent probably 1hr on one side just making sure everything was right, and 30 min on the other side without any help. If I had to do it again I would say 1hr is enough, but off course they always over charge the costumer.

the dealer quote me :
-3hr for the side moldings
-2hr for the mudguards

5 hour is crazy as the only "prep" work is to clean the surface. Then the other work is measuring. It applies with tape and not some special epoxy glue or such.

I had the side moldings installed on Thursday...I don't think it harms the lines of the NX at all...I like the look!

Like most factory Toyota moldings on their cars, they look like an afterthought...

Just checked inside the box and there are no instruction. Guess I'll give the dealership a call tomorrow and ask them to email it to me.

I just bought my "16 eminent white pearl Nx for a daily driver. I wasn't sure that I liked the body moldings at first but then I discovered a ding in the driver's door of my SC. I'm glad I have them.

I just added them to my Obsidian F Sport after some close encounters in a parking garage. Hopefully they are of some use.

I love it - did it to mine, looks super sharp and has already protected my door from dings.
