Returning a lease

Hey guys i had a quick question. I'm returning a lease in 3 weeks. I have a custom intake. Do I need to take the custom intake out and put the original intake back in before I return the lease?

Is it hard to install the OEM intake? How much does it cost if I can't find it?

Also, do I have to take the window tints off? Also, the side mirror is missing the mirror. I think someone stole it or broke it, but the housing is there, just the mirror itself is missing.

I've never returned a lease, my family has always purchased vehicles so I don't know jack about returning a lease. Thanks

When I returned an RX-8, they had a rep look the entire car over to verify everything was there - right down to the floor mats. I don't think he would have noticed a different intake, as he never looked at anything but miles and cosmetics. I have no idea on the windows, but a missing mirror would have cost me.

No everything needs to be stock or they will charge you!

I know from experience.

Returning it as stock as possible is how you're going to want to go. They will probably start charging you out the wazoo to replace the after market parts.

Agreed... take the tint off or be charged(unless it is 35% or milder, then they "may" not notice). Replace the intake with factory or expect a HEFTY sum... Even if it were a point of purchase, dealer installed, Mazdaspeed you'd want the factory unit in the trunk.

read the terms of your lease. Anything that wasnt there when you picked it up and anything that is missing will be charged to you for parts and labor.
