I really like the front and back of the Nx350 fsport. They look nicer than the regular NXh. Not sure if it is doable in Canada.

No, not me. The F-Sport grill does look nice but for me, it’s more than just the front and back. It’s also the black out roof rails, black side mirrors and body colour fenders that complete the more sporty appearance. The NX 450h+ F-Sport also comes with a chrome-coloured trim at the bottom of the front air dam, like the RAV4 Prime, that I really don’t care for.

I gloss black vinyl wrapped the window chrome & roof rails; love how it looks. Ton of time, but only cost me ~$100.

@DenverRx I had mine done and I hate the way the window/mirror chrome trim looks. He initially put the Xpel Gloss Black PPF film on the roof rails and window trim. The roof rails look okay (not great but acceptable). Once we saw the window/mirror chrome trim with the Black PPF he removed it from the window/mirror chrome trim and used Black Gloss Wrap. The PPF is super stiff and durable but due to the close spaces, it just wouldn't seal up good and looked terrible. The Black Wrap looks about 2% better than the PPF but at this point I left it on there until I figure out my next move.

I already purchased Black Aluminum Roof Rails and sent them back to China. They did not match up properly and the only way to install them is to drop the complete headliner as there are bolts and rivets holding the existing rails that can only be accessed after you remove the headliner. Lexus Parts Department said the Lexus Roof Rails are $770 each side plus Install fee. I said no thanks.

I also asked them about the F-Sport Black Chrome Window trim. I was advised the Triangle Piece at the yearend is the Trim and Glass all in one piece and costs $220 each side. Then the remaining pieces of Black Chrome for each door. In total for everything he said it would run around $880 for the Lexus F-Sport Black Chrome. We didn't talk Install fees.

I'm thinking about getting the pieces taken off and Black Chromed or Painted. The guy who installed my PPF, Tint and wrapped the chrome said he knew a guy who could it but I didn't ask him anything else about it. I just dropped the subject until I figure out what to do next.

I'm happy with my 3M wrap. Only issue is I had to use Knifeless Tape to make the upper cuts, and around the triangles. There are tiny jagged edges (if you look close). Toyota/ Lexus are really hard to wrap because the rubber trim gives you no room to tuck.

SgtLip

Agree, up close the edges look like crap. That is exactly what the guy who did mine said that the Lexus is hard to wrap because the rubber trim gives you no room to tuck. I've been thinking about Plasti Diping the Chrome to see if it turns out better.

That looks great! I just had my Caviar blacked out with the 3m wrap. I also got it ceramic coated. I get to pick. Her up tomorrow. I can’t wait!

SgtLip

Come back and share a photo or two. I'd be interested in seeing how it looks. Not the Ceramic or tint, just the Chrome Wrap. I've been ceramic coating and tinting my vehicles for about 6-7 years now.

DON'T DO IT!!!
I tried using Hyperdip (from the makers of PlatiDip) to do the trim. Tried twice with help from their tech staff. Looked awful. Funny, I bought black rails from China as well. Sent them back for your same reason. Wish Lexus would make a 350h F-Sport!

if you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig.

If you wanted a true sports car then you should not have bought a NX


YMMV,

Okay. Won’t bother trying. Thanks for letting me know.
