jackstands - there are two arrows on your side skirts that point at two stand points, can't miss them.

The jacking point is behind on tow hook on the back and the on the exposed part of the frame (I'm sure there's an actual name for it, someone help out) in the front. It's easy to spot, as its not covered by the plasic shield. But be careful of the exhaust manifold, as its really close to it.

Jack stands should go right in front of the rear tires and right behind the front tires. There's a metal lip thats hard to miss.

I think its easy to jack the car up by the pinch welds - if not, the lower control arm would do fine.

Jack it up on the tow hook just to the left of center under the nose.

Put jack stand behind front wheels, I think the points are right at the front edge of the doors (or a little in front). You'll see a piece of metal sticking below the side about 1/2" and it 3-4 inches long; that's what you put in the "bowl" of the top of the jackstand.

I use the points where the LCA's join to the frame.

i jack by front towhook and rear towhook, though if i need to get the rear high in the air for stuff like exhaust work, i'll use the rear subframe.
