Default Leasing and modding?

How far do you guys mod? Thinking about leasing a 15' GS 350 F sport and want to at least tint windows, lower with RS R super downs, 20's, front lip spoiler., etc.

U can do anything u want to it during ur lease term. Just make sure to return it back to stock when u return the car, except the tinted windows cause It doesn't make sense to remove tinted windows, u can't reuse it.

Depends on the dealer when it comes to many custom add-ons. If the car is going back to Lexus then the dealer will most likely want it returned to stock. If the dealer may sell on the dealer lot and thinks the add-ons may attract a quicker sale and/or higher resale price then the mods may be left on without return credit. You really need speak to your dealer about the mods and the lease. In my case no issues but also no value for the mods left on.

The dealer has little or nothing to do with the condition or equipment on a car when turned in. Whatever they tell you is their best guess. Someone representing the Lexus Financial will ultimately inspect the car.
