I noticed when i installed the side skirts that there is no where to jack up the car? for those of you who jack up your car how do you do it?
I need a lift in my garage!

Doesn't that little jack support rail that runs kind of parallel to the rockers under the car, stick down lower than the Votex sideskirts a little?? i was thinking about picking these up... so this is good to know

there are cut outs in the side skirts under the jack points.

Yup, they do. There are actually arrows etched in the moldings (two on each skirt) which point to the jack point.

how bought at a shop how would they lift the car using the lifts that have the arms?

There's enough room.

I think it depends on the arm-type of the lift. My local shop can't put my car on their lift anymore because it will potentially crack the skirts.

if i am not mistaken, i think some arms have bases at the end that are threaded, so the bases can be raised or lowered.

They won't crack. I've tried that already and the sides are very flexible around the jack points, just have to be gentle with them that's all.

Haha, I do the exact same thing, except use a small wooden block.

No, you're correct...I should have been more specific. I meant to say that the paint* could crack/bubble.
