Has anyone figured out a good place to locate jack stands for the front and rear? I plan on using a floor jack at the recommended jacking points (pinch welds) on the sides and there doesn't appear to be an obvious place to locate the jacks stands.
Plenty of warnings in the manual about where not to locate them, but that's all. All suggestions welcome - thanks!

you should ask from engineer and tell him to fit it so that it should not look bad.
I'm sure I'll eventually need to do the same.
Thanks!

I've given up and have resorted to jacking the car up on the part of the pinch weld that is covered by the plastic liner and placing the jack stands on the exposed metal pinch weld. I know this is not ideal - this area isn't as reinforced as the exposed area - but this is literally the only way I see to get the car on stands. The safety benefits of placing the jack stands at the reinforced areas offsets the slightly crumpled plastic.
