The arches should be less than 750$ if you wait around for a parts sale.

I installed them myself so no labor cost.

I just ordered them, they are indeed $700, but then there is shipping additional $400, I got $100 shipping discount so still ended up with 1k total, oh well it is just money, at least the car going to look decent afterwards

Just want too share a website that I found, which is basically a TechStream for free, it may be little outdated, but it would be something and better than nothing, if you are trying to replace something, at least it will give you some ideas how things are attached. Anyway here is your service manual -> https://www.lexunx.com/lexus_nx_service_manual-122.html

That's pretty good. I remember a forum member added genuine Lexus FSport parts to his 350h. I think it was over $7K

Would it have been cheaper to do pick up at a nearby dealer? I remember when I bought mine, the shipping was covered entirely by the $100 shipping discount.

The place I was ordering them from had all the parts at discount, so that is why I start ordering them there, but then I did not know that the shipment would be another $400; but on the other hand, it crossed my mind if it would be cheaper just to get them at the dealer, but they would be without any discounts and so if I got these parts from the dealer, the parts themselves would cost about $970 + probably tax, so pretty much the same if not more haha

How much for the black trim around the windows?

These are the part numbers that OP left. You could also take them to a shop and wrap them, which would probably be a lot cheaper.

Window Trim

75720-78040
75753-78040
75763-78040
75730-78041

I wrapped my trim in gloss black. I don't see how you could possibly use pre-cut pieces and get everything lined up with adhesive vinyl. There's a lot of tucking and precision cutting involved.

Any of you that have added the f sport trim pieces know if the f-sport front bumper lip (the silver piece) is able to be added by itself to a base/premium model without the rest of the f- sport front bumper trim parts (I.e., the new grill and vent trim pieces)?

Grille can be done standalone. But the silver front lip requires the F Sport fog light covers.

Dang, thanks for the confirmation. Any insight into how the lip attaches / why it requires the F Sport fog light trim? Is it just a matter of drilling a couple holes in the stock ones so that the lip would mate correctly? Tough to tell from the below image of the lip.

Look at the shape of the silver lip. It's literally designed to accept the sharp angled tip of the F Sport fog light cover. The Non F Sport fog light cover is curved in the same area.

Everything should clip into place from what the installer told me.

Just be advised that you will need to cut slits into your front bumper cover to adhere the fog light covers to the bumper.

Got it - thanks for the help!
