The main reason I wanted to is because I think the sport bumpers and rims on the 2011s are really ugly. But now I figure I can just lease and new one and change out the sport bumper with a non sport since the non sport looks like the 2009 sport bumpers.

Would the dealer care if the bumper is from a non sport when I return the car? Or will they even notice? It would still be OEM...

 

^Why not just a 2010 then? I don't think you'd have to swap anything.

And yes the dealer would care/notice if you returned a S model without an S bumper.

It's actually not the "dealer" the bank sends a rep out to inspect the car before grounding the leased car to any local dealership, you do not have to return a lease at the dealership you bought it at.

 

Do you think I could find a dealer that still have 2010s and lease it to me as a new car?

I think I may just suck it up a stick with a 2011, I'm sure the bumper will grow on me haha.

 

Post a thread in the buying/selling section with your location and ask one of the friendly dealership representatives we have on here to find you a new 2010. If your willing to go get it I'm sure they'll work with you. It's all in your hands now man, report back with photos after your purchase

 

Will do, thanks for all the info guys!
