Debadging a leased G
I didnt put this in the lease section because it is not directly about leasing a g.
But I was wondering if you could debage/ or if anyone has degabed their leased G with no issues from the dealer.
Thanks

Contact your dealer, you will most likely be required to rebadge the car upon termination of the lease.

i dont think they would care
as long as the car has no physical damage or major mechanical problems u should be good.

Take a picture and when you turn it in, line everything up as best as you can. They wont even notice...

They might ask to look at the car; then upon closer inspection they'll notice how clean and smooth it looks and get suspicious....

say you're having issues with a window making noise/needing to be lubed. Schedule an appointment, and do your debadging just before you take it in so its still dirty.. then go home and fix her up

I de-badged my car, its leased, and I dont really care if they charge me later. the badges are an eyesore that needed to go.

I would think the dealer would charge you for the missing badges if you returned the car debadged.

Suggestions for an OB coupe? Everything off? Fuji only? Or G37s only?
