Balla gets the moron of the year award.
First of all, a $22000 car loan would not be $750/month unless it's only for a 24 or 36 month period.
If you got a 60 month loan at 7.99%, the payments would only be $450.
Not to mention the fact that you're going to get raped by the leasing agency for all the stuff you've done. Now i'm assuming you don't have stock bumpers, side skirts, hood, hinges, etc. to put the car back. And don't get me started on the paint. They will charge you at least $5000 because they have to paint everything (door jambs, engine bay, etc.)
My suggestion would be to take out a loan, sell the car (even if it's not with most of the mods) and try and get $22K between the sale of the parts and the sale of the car because that would be your only way to avoid hefty fines from the leasing company.
Good luck.

I don't know if any of you read what i wrote but "I will see what they say and make a decision based on that". When you get involved with modifying cars there are some sacrifices you have to make and this is one that I'm making. IF they say you owe $5000 because i painted it, do you really think i would say ok let me get my check book? no, i would say ok I'll buy the car for $22,000 and try to sell it to a private buyer. Its funny how people jump to the conclusion that I'll give the car back and pay $10,000 for repairs.
I understand people have a right to post whatever they want, good or bad but if you don't know what my situation is in my life and the reason why i need to give up the car i would suggest you just keep your comments to yourself.
To all the supporters, thank you very much. Its hard to let the car go but if anyone knows me knows that I'll be back up on my feet in no time.

Hell, I'll buy it when it goes to auction from the leasing company for ~$10K hahaha.
And why even go into the leasing company? Why not just call them and ask what the policy is for cars that have been repainted a completely different color(s?) and save yourself some time. Because you can't possibly think even 1% in your brain that there will not be ridiculous fines and they'll be ok with the colors of the car.
