Everything that you are doing sounds reversible, so you should be OK. I wouldnt go too far though

You can do anything that can be undone.

If you spend the extra cost for MB parts (such as both spoilers), I would guess you would not even have to take them off at turn in....but better check to be sure.

I got a lease as well. Everything your doing sounds fine. However, the trunk spoiler might be a bit of an issue (not sure how it is installed, is there drilling in the trunk involved?)

Also, if I might make a suggestion, instead of doing HID which could be problematic and needs things screwed in to work, simply get tinted halogen bulbs that give a white/blue hue to the color you desire. I have 7500k GP Thunders and they are great.

I got them off ebay for the cheapest listing including shipping to my door (came to around $15)



Here is a pic of all GP thunders color 8500k. It isn't blue like the fake ricer stuff on hondas, more like super white/blue with. If you want less blue they offer 7500k which is closer to a pure white/blue/greenish color.

Make sure you get the 55w version and H7 bulb.

Totally agree with Ron JR.
Do whatever you want as long as you can undo them.
