Spacers left on the car?

So i just got my car back from the dealership. I had them fix my broken plastic latch/wire to open the hood. The tech told me the dealership left the spacers on and that he taken them off. Um... what is he talking about? I think he said spacers.

He is probably referring to the rubber spring spacers that hold the car a little higher for better clearance in transport. We just found a set on my friends IX MR with almost 50k miles on them...it damaged both the front Bilsteins

Everyone, check your springs! It is really common for Honda dealers to leave these on S2000's too!

Happened to me also - it's just the spacers for the sprinigs. I took em off myself. I have pics on a thread here.

Here's a link to the thread. All I had to do was jack up the car and take out the spacers.
