i wouldn't mod it unless you get it in the contract like others said. even then, you're only going to get away with minor mods, like a drop-in air filter and MAYBE a cat-back... however, i don't see them really going for ANY mods since it's a lease. doesn't matter if it's a regular lease or a lease-to-own.

If leasing was a good deal the dealerships, and leasing companies wouldn't/ couldn't make money from it. And yes they make 3 to 4 times the amount leasing a car over just selling it to you.

Never lease a sports car like an Evo. Sorry no no no. Of course if you like throwing money away feel free to mail me some
it depends, not all leases are bad deals.

so can i start out with short shifter, intake,bov then turbo exhaust?
1st Get a tune, it will give you more power and is fully reversible if needed.
2nd Verify you can make modifications (doubtful)
3rd Discuss mods with your tuner and get familar with what to expect from each

nice man! love WW

IF you are going to chance modding it, then Tahoe55 is right, get a tune first. You can go with a Cobb AccessPort for that. A few other things would be a drop-in air filter (Cosworth is what I recommend) and MAYBE a cat-back exhaust. Anything else and you're probably going to be pushing it...
