Default Got a quickie!

Im currently leasing my Spa. But driving it for the first time today, in like 2 months, I might be buying it when the lease is up. I treated myself today for my birthday today and ripped around in my S. But anyways, when I got my S, the guy at the dealership was telling me I should, powder coat the wheels, slap a turbo on it, etc. because he has a Mustang with a supercharger on it. So he's a pretty cool cat. But I was thinking lately about putting some lowering springs on my baby(kg/mm's). Will this lower the value of my car to the everyday Joe? Im pretty sure the dealership will be cool with it, as they also offered me a Comptech header to along with my Comptech CAI.

Thanx,
Chris

Wow that's very cool of them. My lease dealer was very strict about not changing ANYTHING! These Virginia dealers are pretty conservative... along with everything else in VA I guess.

I hope to mod it anyway with items I can restore back to stock when it comes time to return the car.

Just keep your stock springs if you're concerned. That way when you want to sell it you can re-install them and do whatever you like with the KG/mms

I'd be a little leery about what the guy at the dealership said. He may be setting you up later when you have to return it and have all the stuff on it. Besides, so what if he has a Mustang with a supercharger on it.

I just mentioned that to show that he was into modding as well, but was cool with it with my S.

I'm sure any dealer would make you pay the difference in putting it back to stock when you turn in a lease if you dont keep the original parts. I would be leary of that sales guy.

Just a friendly suggestion about the way you word your title.
"Got a quickie" or "Got a quick question" doesn't tell readers much about what your topic is. In future try to be a bit more descriptive so that your target audience can be reached more appropriately.
