In the rear, jack it by this hockey puck lookin thing, thats what it’s there for, but it’s kinda easy to deface.

These are what’s recommended, at least they were when I still worked for my local dealer…
Pinch weld works in a pinch, but be careful with them, they’re easy to foul up if you’re not careful.

Most importantly, use jack stands at the front and rear where the black plastic rocker covers have cut out's at the factory jack locations. Also, chock the tires securely to prevent the car from moving foward and backward with a rubber chock from Harbor Freight or some scrap 2x4 pieces kicked tightly into the tire rubber fore and aft of the other tires on the ground.
Lift it at the frame points in front with the triangle cutout and the rubber lifting cushions or the frame area at the rear with that same triangle cutout. It shows both these area's clearly in the video below.

Video of the Procedure. Note he protects the painted area's where the floor jack goes with a thick shock rag. You could do this same thing with the jackstands where they contact the seam rails.

I'm certainly glad you copied our posts Lou - keep them handy and be careful!
On a side note, we're extremely lucky to have so many good members in this place - @Wm. Internet Rock DJ and @Rollin’ Along are just a couple, out of many, that always try to be helpful and show positive attitudes towards others here. They both had great info!
The main reason that I personally posted in that thread was to add the jack stand and wheel chock usage items. I know from experience that just about every time I've put up one of my cars jacked up for an oil change in a thread post here, more times then not someone will reply "hopefully you've got a jack stand under there too!".
So, I felt it was important to add that to my post in it's entirety to highlight safety.In actual practice, I go one step further and leave both the raised floor jack and jack stands under their positions as a double dose of safety.
Everyone should try to remember that skipping safety items when you're wrenching on your vehicle to save a little time at the moment, could cost you a much larger amount of time in the hospital...or worse!
(can you tell I was Safety Director at the manufacturing plant I recently retired from? )
Got 2 of these myself....strangely I never thought of putting one in the car 🤣.I keep one of these in my glove box. These pinch weld pads work great.

3 unrestrained connections (2 of them relatively slippery) in the load path and an uneven floor under the jack. What could possibly go wrong.
Not to mention a car that has been lowered. How can I feel sorry. No wonder it required jimmy rigging lol. Still sucks when something like that happens. At no point did he mention he lowered the car, but talked a out the pinch weld being so high up. Carbon fiber side skirts also could be aftermarket. I could be wrong about that though.3 unrestrained connections (2 of them relatively slippery) in the load path and an uneven floor under the jack. What could possibly go wrong.
I ordered these. Very reasonable and very high quality. Protects the pinch weld.

You won't regret that purchase. I purchased a pair of these about 6 years ago, they are still going strong. One stayed attached to the pinch weld on a trip back from Atlanta Dragway to Greenville SC.I ordered these. Very reasonable and very high quality. Protects the pinch weld.
