Very nice car, and great pics.

WhiteonWheat · 10-01-2011, 07:44 AM

Looks great!

I've never understood people leasing cars - modifying them (spending all that $$ on a car you don't even own) and then having to revert them back to stock to return. I saw a few of these on the other car club I belong to g35driver.com - some of those cars got covers on tuner magazines and even went as far as repainting the car. WOW....just don't "get it".

Looks great though!

i say you keep the car; looks tight.
Ask for 3k off of residual, and you got yourself a nice ride

Yeah, I don't want to derail the topic too much - but modifying a leased car is an controversial topic. Non-permanent/bolt-on mods are fine IMO - those can be taken off and sold (you'd do the same thing if you owned the car and were going to sell it). However doing permanent mods to a leased car, I don't understand. You will not get the money back.

Is it possible to get your friend's wheel/tire/drop specs?

Looks sick. Is the front of the e92 lowered or stock height?

modding lease cars doesn't make sense to me either. unless your friend is ballin' outrageous then it's cool to go from car to car and modding them, haha
