What mods can be done to a lease?

I was planning on tint+rims+painted calipers. Would that screw me over with the dealer?

thanks

The tint would definitely be OK because it's easily removable (having mine done on Tuesday with 20% all the way around). With the wheels, you might want to keep the stock ones around so you can put them back on at the end of your lease. Painting your calipers is a pretty permanent deal unless you completely replace them when you give the car back, so I don't know how they would view that. I doubt it would be a huge deal though.

i called the dealer and asked the service manager if it would be ok to paint the calipers on a leased car he told me it was fine. if your dealer gives you any problems you can alwise paint the calipers silver and give the car back.

To be on the safe side, if you choose so, anything which you can remove prior to the return of the car would be good to go.

With regard to the calipers, my dealer painted mine black both times they did warranty service on them so there's no issue there.

I would say EVERYTHING is OK as long as you can take it off when your done. Doing a turbo might not be the smartest move though.
