How much modding should/can you do with a leased c63?

Just curious...

I already have with me a nice smoked/black replacement to those UGLY yellow turn signal indicators. I am planning on replacing them, and honestly probably will do, regardless of the impending conversation.


But my thoughts lead to greater questions, what should, or CAN, you do with a leased vehicle?

My assumption is that everything that can be done should be reversible (such as the lighting)?

Just wondering what people think?
thanks!

Check my C63. It is tuned, carbon fibered, wrapped, intaked, tinted, painted, and enjoyed as a lease car. You can always sell the modded parts separately before you turn in your vehicle. Or, you can sell the car before you turn it in.

What about issues when bringing your car to dealer for maintenance? Such as for 10K, etc...?
Do you worry about all the changes?

I already told my technician not to re-flash the ECU and I told my sales person that I am going to keep the car. Eventually I will sell it before my lease ended. I barely drive my C63 and with low mileage I think I can make some money when I sell it in two years.

You can do whatever you like as long as you return the car back to stock at the end of the lease.
