I have a 2023. It will fit 2022-24. Nothing has changed. Where in NYC are you? I'm in Queens.

I ordered the full kit. So the front grille, fog lamp covers, front lip and rear diffuser. They are also sending some additional light bulbs to put into the cornering lamp holes.

I didn't speak to anyone at a Lexus parts dealer. In a NX facebook group I'm in, another user bought the same conversion kit for his 350H and he didn't have any issues with the install. He used a body shop though. I may attempt it myself but I'll see after the parts arrive and maybe get some quotes from local body shops.

Search for LEXUS NX 2ND GEN

It costs $1600 shipped for the full kit. $500 of it is just the shipping since it's so big.

Join the group and search for Yao Cimon's posts.

That's awesome! Are you going to DIY or have a body shop do it for you?

I've never done a bumper removal before, so I'm a bit hesitant in that regard. And since it's a conversion kit, I'm kind of worried about if I run into some issues that I won't know how to resolve.

I'll probably try to get some estimates from a few body shops and decide from there. If it's only a couple hundred dollars, I'd be inclined to let them do it.

Do not think you want to know haha it is a few thousands easily. I was looking to replace four black plastic wheel arches to the body colored ones and the cost in just the parts is about 1k, but when you re do the whole front and labor ohhhh boy $$$$$

Looks great!!! Still a few items missing to be completely FSport. The chrome should be black and the side mirrors are black and the roof rails as well. But what you have already looks great!

The body colored wheel arches is worth it all if you don’t do any thing else. Looks so much better. In fact, I think Lexus should have ditched the black wheel arches on all models of the NX. Seriously, while you can go off-road, this is not a true off road vehicle and black wheel arches look terrible and silly to me on a luxury brand like Lexus.

Lexus needs to get out of the old mentality that customers are looking at their vehicles and saying oh look it has black wheel arches now that’s an off road utility. No, it just looks fake and the black will fade and in 3-6 yrs will look worse with sun fading it. It also breaks up the clean flow of the side view. It belongs on vehicles from Ford Chevy GM Subaru etc, not Lexus.

$1600 shipped from China for the kit. Took exactly a month to NYC.

And $250 to get it installed at a shop.
