I've still got a few months before I get my NX 350h (flagship trim here in Taiwan), but I'm excited and would like to pre-think on what accessories or add-ons to do with my upcoming new car! Mainly interested in functional improvements than purely aesthetics. What accessories/mods/hacks have you done to your NX that you love? (Thanks in advance!)

Paint protection film and ceramic coating

scooky

I like window tint and paint protection film. Haven't tried ceramic yet.
Personal preference, some people like to replace the run flat tires with regular tires. Depends on the ride quality you like and your environment. If replacing the run flat tires consider the backup options of roadside assistance, tire repair kits etc. Different things are appropriate for different areas.

I'm wondering if anyone debadged their NX350 FSport or added the F-Sport badge to the rear

Nx350fspt

Please don't do that

lulu45

LOL. I saw a You Tube video that someone was going to do it & was wondering if he was the only one

I've seen it done. I've seen them take off the Lexus badging in the back on this car. It was the blue one. I've also seen them at the F Sport batch to the trunk left side.

The Lexus badging in the rear is absolutely beautiful. If you have a 458 plug-in, I literally find no reason to take that off. Why would you want to take off something that indicates you have the highest model? It looks fine and it is well balanced. Makes no sense. I get the Plasti dip and blackening out. Sure. I'm with that.

My strong recommendation is all weather floor mats directly from authorized Lexus dealer or just make sure that they are oem.

I like the puddle lights. Spend $80,100 on the OEM manufacturer one don't get the cheap $20 ones.

I recommend skipping spending $300 or $400 on the illuminated door seals.

I don't think it's bad to spend 15 or $20 on screen protector, if you want. Not a big deal.

I also strongly recommend getting ceramic coating, you could do a do-it-yourself spray, and then do follow-up waxes with sio2 from either turtle Wax or the 30 or $40 bottle from chemical guys.

I don't know if I would recommend spending a couple thousand on pps. Sure it's great, but it's expensive. The people who have it do believe that it's worth it, though.

I am not into blacking out my vehicles. I don't recommend getting heavy tense. But I do strongly recommend getting ceramic IR tints. xpel has a great brand, or 3M crystallized.

If you live in a hot climate, go for the XR Plus. Xr's great as well. The 3M is awesome as well. They are comparable.

At the very least, if you do not want to spend the money on ppf, spend about $20 on a vivid .8 mm thick helicopter tape paint protection. Put 1/3 water, 1/3 alcohol, and 1/3 baby shampoo, clean the area, spray the car and spray the rear bumper where you need protection immediately above the several sensors on the rear bumper, and bend it in, and you will have that to help protect your bumper. It is infinitely better than the looks of that Lexus plastic bumper protector that they sell for $130 and install at the port!!!! Trust.

Sorry to ask Nx350fsrt, I’m normally not this slow, but what is ‘ helicopter tape‘?

Nx350fspt

Another name for ppf. Paint protection film. Dance thing. But vivid .8 thick version rather than .6

Enjoy

NX350FSpt. Thanks.

I thought the back looked cleaner and more balanced without the model alphabet soup (450h+ AWD) personally:

Nx350fspt

No


And if you are concerned about cleaner and balanced then you should take off that rubber stuck to your bumper

..........

UltraDad

Yes.

Looks very clean. Contemplating doing the same to mine. No need to advertise alphabet soup. But this is just my opinion.

wattyb2

How did you go about doing that without risking any damage to the paint?

ct6978

Thanks!

Bonus, much easier to wash/wax that area now. I've been doing this for my last several cars and haven't regretted it.
