I don't know about Saturn's lease policies but Infiniti's is:
"You will also be responsible for removing any additional equipment you might have installed."

Lease Policy

probably like all other dealerships out there - they have an intent to resell the car and if you have any modifications done to it like a body kit, they will hit you and charge you to change it back to stock - on a lease it stinks because you really can't do things like that unless your prepared at the end of the lease to return it to stock

LOL,
I concur.. leasing is a good way to get 'charmed' by a tool big enough for an elephant to feel. You can put side skirts and a wing, which are placed on by eurothane tape, but for front and rear bumpers, you have to drill holes on most of them.. although, front and rear lips are held together by tape also.. so theoritically, yes. You can take them off after the lease. The tape rolls off pretty easily so you can take them off without damaging the paint (in most cases )

In all of my years with Infiniti I have never once seen a customer charged to remove something from a car.

Didn't say you would be charged, just referenced Infiniti's policy.
