Default My NX make over

Hey guys,

I'm a bit new to this forum, just thought i'd share my modifications to my NX in case anyone else had questions I could help them with.

Sharing is caring !

Please feel free to add any recommendations and tips

Will begin applying ArtisanSpirit kit and RSR downs April 11- stay tune for more pics

Possibility for APEXI exhaust however I'm not sure yet because I personally still like the original exhaust tips and the quiet sound.

ENJOY !

The build looks promising. Keep the pics coming!

Do you have AVS? And I'm interested in your feedback on ride comfort after the RSR drop.

EDIT: I believe you do have AVS judging from the HUD pod atop the dash in your first pic above.

I do have AVS so I'm still curious about the ride comfort.

The car goes in the shop April 11 so I won't have pics till the end of the week.

Still deciding whether to apply ceramic pro or experiment with some vinyl wrapping black camo what do you think ?

Black vinyl wrap your roof - I'd do it on yours.

Don't put spacers. I'm having problems right now with 15mm spacers, keeps rubbing the plastic under the fender. So I'm gonna have to cut the plastic out. As for your rsr springs you won't notice much difference beside it's stiffer so you'll start hearing more noise in the car as in squeaks. Overall it was worth the drop for me. Makes the car look more aggressive.

I went to the shop today to take out the spacers, instead we decide to cut the plastic out and now it doesn't rub unless I'm goin off roading. Also if u don't mind me asking, how long did it take u to get the artisan kit. I'm buying a body kit either aimgain or artisan. Whoever can make it fast has my business. Don't wanna wait 3 mth.

WOAH do you have any pics of the clearance space in the wheel well ?

I ordered the artisan kit directly from japan, The dealer in the US was out of stock and took 2 weeks to reply,

I wired the funds directly to ARTISAN JAPAN Mar 02, after confirming they received the funds.It was built by Mar 14TH air freight, landed and cleared customs 48 hours later. So it should take 2-3 weeks directly from the company without any middle dealer.
