Debadging a lease

I want to debadge my car, but its a lease. Do you think they will have a problem with it when I return it?

you wont have a problem, you'll just need to re badge it, you'll probably have a hard time badging the car with the original letters so you'd have to buy the INFINITI letters with the glue on them already

I've debadged my last 3 leased cars. Keep the letters in a safe spot for time of your lease. When the time comes to return your car get some really thin 3M tape and an exacto blade. Cut the tape to match the letters, you can have them upside down as long as they are there you're fine...

I would recommend saving badges whether it’s a leased car or not. As discussed in the past, when selling or trading-in a sporty vehicle, debadged cars often sell for less so it’s a good idea to put the badges back.

i believe STOOF's car is a lease.. and i think there are more aftermarket parts on that car than stock lol if you want it, do it. there are always ways to get it back to stock when the time comes.

I really want to debadge mine. What all is needed? Will there be any discoloration in the paint after removal?

Go for the debadging. Just keep them to put back on later.
