Also, for the side locations, you'll definitely want to look under the car before setting the jack. If you get it in the wrong spot and try to lift the car, you can easily crack the rocker panels. Several companies also make jack "pucks" that lock into the jack holes in the frame, and create a spacer to protect the rockers (just like the C5 and C6 Corvette generations).
Besides the 6 lift points noted in the manual, I've heard rumors the car can be also be lifted on the two radiator frame points that hang down slightly in the front. These are the same two points where some people mount Granatelli Bumper Savers. Any idea if these are really lift points too?
