So, I have a pretty cool Fusion Orange '04. But it'd be nice to do various mods to it. Air filter, tinting, whatever. But I'm leasing, however with intent to buy since it's such a great vehicle (minus the Conti's). So, what am i allowed to do to the car right now under a lease agreement?Thanks

Anything you want as long as they don't find out and you change it back to normal before you return it.

Well, even if they do find out, they cant' do anything besides say that you must buy the vehicle after the lease, which I think he going to do anyways.Inder

I'm leasing too... My salesman told me that tinting windows on a Vibe or a sporty car in general will actually help them resell it after the lease, so they don't mind, just as long as the tint job is a good one, and it isn't peeling, fading or bubbling. He also said what Sunny said, when or if you bring the car back when the lease is over, just take off everything you had on, and they'll never know. He told me that after a lease, the car goes back, in our case to Oshawa and gets inspected before being put out for sale.... So even if your dealer sees your mods, they'd never know at the inspection place!
