It should be fine as long as you return the car back in stock form

Im leasing and modding.. but im thinking of buying the car out though..

I've seen people mod they're lease and didn't have any single issue.. mods are fine IMO as long as you can put it back to stock like what beebo said

Just hang onto your old parts... don't sell them,
you'll need them again at lease turn in time.

Don't know for a fact, but why flag your car? That would be dumb to do since they would probably like to keep you as a customer in the future.

My dealership said they don't care what I do relating to mods as long as I return the car in stock condition and there isn't unusual wear and tear.

I've been really tempted to do the paddle shifters in my 08 Journey that I just leased. However, it is only a 24 month lease so I know I'm pretty much throwing that money away in the end.....but still.....

They won't care.. unless your in for a warranty and they found out that it had to do something with your mod then your screwed...

No... Now if you take your car in for warranty work they may try and blame the problem on the mods but by law they have to prove its the mod causing the problem...
