Default Turning in lease this month, will they notice different front spoiler?

I added the sport package front spoiler to my car a couple years back. Do you think the dealer will notice if I leave it on when I turn in my lease? I do have the original spoiler, just don't have much time in the next couple weeks to put it on.

Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure it takes less than 20 mintues to uninstall...

You're probably right. I don't remember how long it took me to install the new one. Maybe it's the fact that the original spoiler is buried in my attic.

If the changed spoiler is undamaged, should be no problem.

Yea, they'll probably notice it. Will they care? Probably not.

Aftermarket spoiler will be noticed by the dealer but the dealer will probably not give a second thought about it. Once they take the car back, they might even replace the spoiler with the one that came with the car and "re-sell" the one aftermarket one or re-sell/lease the IS as is.

Best bet is to spend the 20-30 minutes to find the original spoiler in the attic and re-installing it to the IS (while taking the off the aftermarket one) and then re-selling the aftermarket spoiler for $$$. Good luck.
