Default Window Tinting on a Leased Car?

I'm a pup when it comes to leasing and I've always tinted my windows in my previous purchased cars. Will this hurt me at the end of lease?

Nope. I've done it to every leased car I have driven for the last 21 years and never had a problem

Dealer will not care, it actually adds value to the vehicle. If you tinted front windows and its illegal in the state you live in, all dealer will do is take 5-10mins to peel it off.

you are fine

I hear it's a difficult and almost impossible task to remove old window tint.

impossible to those who know not what they are doing... easy for those who do. The dealer told us it was fine to have the car tinted on a lease (and of course had a guy to recommend). I went to my own guy and had it done 4 days after I picked up the car! Cant live without tint out here...
