Just bought the 2018 NX, realized that there isn't a parking assist feature. Is it possible to do it aftermarket installation?

Just curious, are you talking about self-parking? Or "assist" as in proximity sensors, tilt-down mirrors, and backup/360-view cameras? If you mean self-parking, that is more of a novelty/gimmick and not really practical. Most self-park systems are so slow that you would have already been done if you DIY in a fraction of the time. Lexus removed self-parking on the LS too but I wasn't going to rely on that feature anyways. Oh, and congrats on your new NX!

Hello. Yeah, I meant just the proximity sensors (4 back, 4 front).
Thanks for answering my question

Yes, definitely possible to add in aftermarket parking sensors on the NX for less than $500.

The Lexus Safety System includes the Dynamic Radar Cruise, Pre-Collision, Automatic High Beams and Lane Departure,
all features that use the windshield mounted camera and millimeter radar in the grill.

Other safety systems such as the Blind Spot Monitor/Rear Cross Traffic Alert that use sensors hidden in the rear fenders
and the Park Assist that read from the bumper mounted sensors are customary but not standard.

DArn. it's optional.

INTUITIVE PARKING ASSIST*

Intuitive Parking Assist utilizes inconspicuous sensors integrated into the front and rear bumpers that are designed to detect surrounding objects. Using audible tones and an indicator on the multimedia display, the system can notify you of a detected object’s location and proximity, helping with routine tasks like parallel parking.Optional On: NX 300 F SPORT, NX 300h, NX 300

Before panicking, are you sure you do NOT have sensors in the bumpers? As PA is turned on and off by a button hidden down yonder at about your L knee level.
