my G is leased as well, i dont really worry to much, id say wheels, a drop , tint, overlays on the lights, i would say stay away from the engine mods or body modification, this car doesnt need much in the first place, i guess it depends on how much you want to do in the end to get it back to norm.

well ive only had the car for a week and a half now and so far ive just gotten my windows tinted. im looking at wheels right now and ive been trying to decide if i want overlays or just blackout my taillights. i had the taillights on my truck blacked out and i loved it but it seems like alot of people prefer these overlays.

You can technically mod as you deem fit if you plan to never take the car to the dealership for servicing.

^If you lease though, most dealers require you to go to an Infiniti dealership for servicing.

I am leasing and there is no way they can legally force you to go to their dealership or any other for servicing.

1. Tinit overlays
2. Intake & exhaust
3. Lighting mods
4. Body mods depending where you gotta drill holes, if it's on the bottom part that's not very visible, I would go for it.

Pretty much the general rule for modding a leased car is, if you can take out that mod easily and change it back to stock, you can do it.

I think they can if it's in your lease that you signed. Not too sure though.

Twin Turbo and Nitrous maybe a custom body kit.

No seriously, overlays, wheels, and intake are all easily removed.

It's not there. They hope to bring you back to the dealership thanks to their ability to give you amazing customer service (eg: an Infiniti loaner car and a smile).

Probably. And to charge you up the a$$ for a simple oil change.

Dealers can't "REQUIRE" you to service the vehicle at their dealership. IFS doesn't even require to have it serviced at Infiniti dealerships. HOWEVER, you do need to have the car in excellent condition at turn-in. (Assuming you do decide to turn it in.)
If I were you, I wouldn't only mod the car if you decide to keep it. Otherwise, it kind of goes down the drain, specially when you put on mods that can't or are hard to remove.
I'm personally thinking of waiting a year to see if this is a keeper. If so, I think I'm going with some new intakes and exhaust. I've never driving a Nissan before, so this is first time with them...lets see how they hold up.
