Permanent modifications to a leased vehicle are generally **not allowed**-you have to return it in original condition. That means no repainting, new seats, performance upgrades, or body modifications.

However, removable accessories like phone mounts, floor mats, and seat covers are usually fine, as long as they don't damage the car. Always check your lease agreement for specifics.

If customization is important to you, buying might be the better choice. Our Finance team can help you weigh leasing versus purchasing and find the option that lets you express yourself. Call **(847) 439-0900** to discuss what works best for your lifestyle.
