Not seeing it.

My mistake. Photos, specs and everything else now shows, but when I click on build it diverts back to 2015. Waited this long, guess have to wait a little bit longer.

Sucks there's no option for color keyed wheel arches to match the fenders. The dark gray plastic trim over the wheel arches has the same cheap look as the RAV4 and Mazda CX-5, sticks out with white eminent pearl.

I have the same arches on my NX. They aren't bad looking if you take care of them, apply the proper protectants to keep them jet black.

My only concern is the long term as this will be a great place for salt to hide during the winter.

I agree with diesel on this one. That whole fender outline ruins the vehicle on any color lighter than the outlines. So black, grey, dark blue...you're good. White....nope, looks awful.

Swacer

See, I enjoy contrast, so I like it.

Probably wouldn't cost too much to have them removed and painted.

coolsaber

those arches fade right after the warranty expires on other vehicles if they arent cared for properly

Swacer

So care for them properly.... UV coating once a year.

Mine sits out all the time and the parking lot where I work offers no protection from the sun. Thus, I will probably apply once in the spring and again in the fall.

What is the best protectant for the arches then exactly?

jtrue28

And yet both cars in your sig wouldn't show grey outlines. Great contrast you have there.

Swacer

I am using the cquartz protectant. It has worked VERY well. I applied it once this year (got the car in May) and my black trim is actually blacker and crisper than when I took possession.

Are you kidding on contrast? Dark blue with silver stripes....

I like contrast in general. Don't get your panties in a bunch , I was just trying to show it wasn't the end of the world to have plastic trim.

Bearcat

Hard to believe they change the website in increments like that. Just get the darn build part on!

My dealer just emailed me they just unloaded 5 2016 RXs, 1 Hybrid and 1 F-Sport.
