WW You D...?

Hello everyone, i've had my car now for almost 3 months - and i've been WANTING to do the things i have planned in my mind (and seeing the cars here do not help either 'cause it's really pushing me to make these decisions...however, i want to do it right)

Here is my dilemma: My car is Leased for 4 years, but i'm planning on buying it out after - no if's or but's! I'm gonna have this car for the long haul.

I have many plans, but the first 2 big projects are rims and Coilover system --> The Coilovers are my #1 problem due to warranty issues...i know it's been said here that dealerships will still cover it under warranty as long as the system didn't cause the issue...i don't know, what would you do? What are ur opinions?

It's been 3 months now, and everyday i look at the car, i say to myself, "Self, you need to lower and get some shoes on that ride, real bad, to make it more sexy..." and then i say to myself, "Damn it self...i know that already, leave me alone. I'd rather talk to my Azine peoples, they'll letme know what's up!"

Burning a hole in my pocket,
tl_rox

Do it!

Just get the misc parts to create new top hats if the AM stuff re-uses the OE parts. That way if you ever need to switch back, it'll be easier to swap
'em back.

I would wait or at least have tried to pick up a used one rather than risk modding a lease vehicle that is under warranty.

If you are positive you're going to keep the TL, go ahead and do the mods.

If you have the money to modify, then do it. I have an Element that I voided half of the factory warranty within the first month.
