Either rear spoiler or go to 180customz and get the crome spoiler painted white. It's a cheaper option. The fact that you have a short lease, I wouldn't do the spoiler. It requires drilling into your trunk. Trust me, I just did mine.

Dude, please do it!!!!
H&R has springs for us X Coupe drivers, but I have yet to see a single person with it!
According to their website, the drop for the X Coupe, and the RWD Coupe is the same. So i'm guessing the H&R drop for the X Coupe will be a bit less then the eibach ones.
And for those wondering why people do stuff to their leased car, here is my reason.....
I asked my dealer what I can do to my lease, and he said the following:
"Do whatever the hell you want, just don't return it with cheaper parts thent he OEM. Supercharge it, turbocharge it, do whatever, but make sure you aren't damaging anything"
So i'm probably not going to do much to my car either.. just some cosmetic mods, intake, exhaust and lowering, which in my opinion is plenty enough for our cars.

there are plenty of people who mod their leased cars. As long as you return it to stock before you return the car...there are no issues. Its fine for small mods like vinyls and tints....doesnt make sense for expensive mods like airbag suspension......but to each his own
what might make not make financial sense to you might be ok with someone else. But this is only going to turn into a lease vs buying debate........so lets just leave the owner worry about his financial decisions
Another reason people get two year leases is because they like the smell of a new car instead of getting stuck with same one for 5+ yrs. That's what wifes are for There's a reason 24m leases are more expansive then 36 and 39.
Anyway gj on the mods, looks dope.

Why would a person do this on a leased vehicle. For that matter, why would anyone lease a vehicle for just 2 years. None of this makes any financial sense to me. And how to you return a leased car which has aftermarket changes done to it? For that matter, does the lease agreement even ALLOW you to do such things to someone elses (the Lessor) car?
My intention was to keep the G but that tight seat hurt my back and neck so I returned it.
I have a friend who turned in a modded a GS350. The fenders were pulled and wrinkled because he was slammed and fitted aggressively spec'd wheels. They took it back.
It doesn't make financial sense but neither does buying any car other than basic transportation. We all should be driving econo-boxes since the goal is mobility.
