I just recently leased a brand new white maxima. Seeing as i will have the car for 3 years i was wondering just what i could do to it to make it look nicer without Nissan freaking when i turn it in. I already added window tint..

 

Im in the same bout as you are lol

 

This is what I have done so far :
- 20 % M3 window tints
- LEDs Interior and exterior
- Fog lights switched to HID

Stuff not receive ( ordered )
- Intake
- Racingline Grounding Kit ( this will be useful for any car )

 

Do anything as long as it doesn't void the warranty.

I returned my 08' this past October coming off a lease, it had 20% tint all around, it was lowered and it had a huge scratch on the rear bumber. They didn't care and it was back on the lot 2 days later for sale.

 

It depends on what you do at the end of the lease. If you are picking up another Nissan, they are less likely to care. If you are walking away, be prepared for them to look the car over thoroughly and possibly ding you for everything they find.

 

I Changed my headlights and fog lights to 8k HID's... I also put on the Stillen front lip and roof wing. You could also throw in a drop in K&N filter and take it out when you send it in for maintenance (unless you do it yourself)... You can change the interior lighting to led's along with the license place illumination lights... You can also tint the taillights and headlights if you don't like the factory tint that some come with...

The minute u start modding it...thats it, u gonna go the dealer and tell them i'm buying the car...the more u mod this car the better it looks..

 

Thanks for all the replys. It seems to me that i can do anything that adds value to the car. Whats the easiest thing to do first. How hard is installing the stillen lip?

 

Turbo the size of watermelon.

 

If don't have HIDs, do that 1st..headlights and foglight(while u at it, put a switch so u can have the fog lights on only)..
Stillen lip, u might want to take to a shop..

 

where is the best place to get the HIDs?

 

Dealership told me that you can do just about anything you want to it AS LONG AS you can put it back to stock configuration (as leased) if they want you to when the lease is up.

 

I have been meaning to ask on here...

Does anyone have a walk-through or tips for wiring the fogs lights to come on separately? I would like for them to come on with the parking lights and not just when the headlights are on. I have the HID fog kit already and was wondering how much extra it would be when I go to install them to do this as well.
