what are shipping spacers?

In all the pictures with the car showing the front, the bumper sits too high off the ground. Sure with smaller diameter tires, the space between the tire and fender maybe larger, but the car would still sit lower to the ground.

Just in the name of safety, check your front suspension (and rear while you're at it).

Here's a few threads from the past regarding shipping spacers (there are pics in the thread to what they look like):

LOL, wow really? 3 things.

1 - Not everyone is willing to drop a paycheck into a car each month, some ppl have moved out of there parents basement and have mortgages, families, etc.

2- You have rally lights on your S2000.

Let's see, oh wait...yes. Talking about spending money wisely? Why change bumpers three times if there was nothing wrong with the stock one in the first place?

Do you laugh at civics at stock height and on steel wheels that have body kits? To me, this front bumper is like that but less extreme.

I understand that people have other financial burdens, but three bumpers? Seems like a really good financial move, esp. after paint.

While I don't have a mortgage, I have a decent job (no family of my own though). I too have been focusing on my career, but still find ways to make my money work for me (mainly waiting around until a good deal comes up. Nothing for the car is that immediate (unless it's repairs) that make me have to have them right away.

And while I do have rally lights on my car, the parts on the car and the way I use the car deem them as worthy of being there. It might look stupid, but at least I can take people saying it looks stupid, mainly because I agree with them.

I'm surprised more people haven't spoken up saying how stupid that bumper looks. If you can't take the criticism, don't post pictures, or at least be able to understand where certain comments are coming from.

Oh and three things:

1. Stock AP1 Bumper
2. Stock AP2 Bumper
3. Amuse Replica Bumper
