I pick up my car NX next week in that color with those rims and 245/50 R19 Pilots...and even with the cross bars. Anyone want to buy the 18 F-Sport wheel package?

got my first door ding. I found a small chip on my driver door body side molding.

I was playing with MS Paint on different configurations for the molding. I used a white line on an obsidian car to best see the lines. I think the window line configuration looks best. The issue with the current OEM configuration is that it does not align with either the window line or lines in the door. It may match the bottom of the door but it can appear to be off to the eye. The window line also aligns with the door handles.

Current OEM configuration:

I saw it in real life... It does not look good at all.

I have them in real life and I think they look sporty and cool!

Different strokes...

As long as you like it.. I think that is all that matters.

I was considering a chrome strip along the crease line of the doors....anybody have a thought on that ? I sure don't want to take away from the already fantastic look of the NX.

I pulled the trigger and ordered the parts online, the dealer wanted almost 600.00 (5hr labor) for installing the side moldings and mudguards, so I did it myself. instructions are easy to follow though.




mudguards and crossbars are next....

good job. Over hear in the Bay Area, spots and narrow and the body side moldings have taken the brunt of a few chips already. Rather the plastic get dinged than the metal.

That looks great!

But I am still curious... I don't think these will stop people from denting your door. What happens if there is a door that is higher than the side strips?

LNXT200

I was wondering the same too, but I parked my wife's Rav4 next to it, opened the door to check, and it stopped right on the rubber strip.

But the RAV4 is pretty much a NX haha

Would you try with some other cars? I want to get these installed on mine too.

LNXT200

that's true..will have to borrow some neighbors's cars to try

it won't prevent a ding from every door configuration, but if it lessens the chance, it's worth it (to me)

I agree, it cost me $133.00 shipped to my door, and free install so why not give it a try.
