OH MY GOD!!! Thats must have sucked.

On the side skirts, there are arrows, this showswere the point is for stands. Look under the car for the rail, put it on the rail!!

You can also use the suspension.

I will take pics when I have chance.

hate to say this .......but if you read your cars manual it shows the jacking points in section where it details changing a flat tire and using your jack any where you can put the jack you can put the jack stands good luck

Just like mentioned above, on the frame rails there are specific locations made for jack stands, usually noted by having notches where you would place the jackstand.

Look in your owners manual and it should have a illustration on where to place your jackstand.

Good luck

Also front and rear are central jacking locations for a hydraulic jack. This allows you to jack up either end and set jack stands on each side at the jack points.

It's all in the manual.

I would echo what others have said already. I actually used the arrows. I had to put them in a different area (by like a couple of inches), but it was nerve racking. I set it down so easy, you coulda heard a pin drop. I also used my suspension a little bit too.

I was pretty paranoid but it came out okay.
