Lease Return
My lease is up in October and I will be returning the car. I have my windows tinted, debadged, black front grill, some curb rash on a couple rims, playstation installed to work with nav system, and an ipod connection which in turn does not allow the cd changer to work.
Will I have to take all this stuff out/replace and fix the curb rash? Most of the things are easy to change back but maybe if I leave them in there they will give me a break on something else that they may try to charge me with? What are your thoughts here?

You are responsible for returning the car in the condition it was leased, minus normal wear and tear.
You'll want to remove all of your mods, minus the window tint.
You will be charged for the wheel rash, unless you get it repaired first. The grill, they will probably not charge you for unless it is a flat black. The CD changer must be restored to working condition, but the ipod connector can be left if in you can make it work with the changer.

If you purchase another vehicle from that same dealership, they will be extremely lenient with your return.
The inspections are done by a third party, that comes out to your house/work at your convenience. All the dealership does is hold on to the car until IFS comes out to pick up the car.

I personally would never ever lease a car. That is a waste of money and at the end you are either giving it back for nothing or you have to pay A LOT to pay off the remaining when you add what you have paid for the lease so far and the remainder. If you can't afford a new one then buy an used one but don't lease, that's my advice.
