really emo, I'm taking a good guess you plan on keeping it?? Really, that no irreversible mods really sound appealing about the PLP kit, not to mention I like powerdyne charges, and the kit looks sweet in all black like that, they just need do design some sort of air filter cover to make it look more complete. mostly I'm talking about some minor boltons, exhaust, maybe some springs, no bodykit nothing that couldn't be returned, I was just worrying that the instant they saw mods if they would kill me on the return, IF i return it.

tint would be alright on the car. i dont know how much they would care when you brought it back. unless is it something big. but things that you can just take off, would be alright i would think.

My GS300 is a lease and look at all the mods I've put on it in one year. When I take it to the dealer for service, it is always covered by warranty. The dealer don't talk ***** about me voiding the warranty, they just admire my car and take good care of it. By the way, it also depends on your dealer. Some dealers can be jack-asses!!!

whats nice is that lexus has awsome customer service. they know when someone is trying to **** them, and they probably wont take the easy out and void the warranty becuase of an intake. I have an intake and an exhaust and nobody even noticed let alone cared when i went in for last service. so yes, i'd mod a leased car.

I think I'm convinced, first mod will be springs, what is the best spring for sock shocks?? In all my hondas I've liked the nuespeed race, I rode in a type-r with H&R's, and everyone seems to love tein. I don't care if the ride is a little rougher, looking for a nice stiff spring, drop height can be whatever, I just want it to perform well

Modding a leased car?? BAhhh!
Save your money. Put down 6K plus and just buy the car. At the end of the lease you're going to end up paying 35+K for the car if you do the buy-out. Leasing a car is pointless unless you're the kind of person who never wants to own a car.
If you don't have the cash for a down just buy a Honda. In the long run it will save your back pocket much stress.....

The lease was just the quickest way out of a truck I broke, rigged it up and traded it in the same day, nt to mention it lost it's *** in value. Even at the end if I buy it out, it's only like $2k more that if I had financed, I might do that or just walk away clean. At the time it was better than replacing the 4wd system on a pickup with no warranty. maybe I'll get someting a little better next time though since I'm making like 4 times what I did when I bought the car, kinda hard to get much when you make $7.50 an hour ya know

probably very light modifications to the car..springs at most..or maybe intake..but other than that..wouldnt put on anything that requires more than 2 hours to install/take off...
what the dealership doesnt know wont hurt you =)
