I've been wondering why the lower front lip of the nxt is painted silver ( a very nice silver color) & no where else on the car? I would prefer to see the same silver on the wheel arches instead of black & take away the black from the side mirrors too!
If I decide to buy a nxt, I'll have to modify.....is there a silver color code listed on the car?

The color code is listed on the driver's side door jam.

I am hoping at some point Lexus offers a package without that plastic cladding around the wheel housings...like BMW does on the X1 and X3. It really dresses up the vehicle more to be all one color. Then lower it a little and put on larger wheels and it will look really great!

The roof rails look to be of the same color

The black arches has grown on me and I have not warmed up to a color coordinated version offered in Japan.

More from Japan...looks like silver arches

On their Allroad wagon, Audi offers a monochromatic option to the stock black cladding. BUT it's a $1,000 option! I doubt that they have many takers.

Very interesting. Thanks!

To add, the color of the fender arch, started from the left, top one, clockwise is

1. Mercury Grey Mica/Nebula Grey
2. Sonic Titanium/Atomic Silver
3. Platinum Silver Metallic/Silver Lining Metallic
4. Platinum Silver Metallic/Silver Lining Metallic

Thank you for sharing this! I think having it lowered a little, and having larger wheels would help. I would like to see the larger spyder style wheels in particular on this. I bet it would really look sharp in that bright blue color with the FX package too. I know...I don't want much, do I?

I have seen the Allroad like this and think it is a vast improvement. While people in harsher climates might appreciate the cladding, it would be nice to have some options.

I know on BMW's X1 for example, it is part of the M Sport appearance package and tacks on $3k to the price. Perhaps Lexus could make it part of the F Sport appearance package...maybe have 2 levels of the package so those who still want the cladding with the F Sport can get it. Make the higher priced F Sport option include the painted version along with 20" Spyder wheels.

We all know things like this change as the model rolls out and becomes more popular...so I am keeping my fingers crossed for 2016.

IMO Eminent White Pearl would look great with Silver Lining Metallic arches.
Thanks everyone for chiming in.

Another thing for the body colored wheel arches would be the availability of body colored splashguards.
