Front theres a thick metal slab on the subframe you place the jack.You probably have the engine cover under it to hide it.
rear;I wouldnt use the tow hook,i bent mine..Go next to the exhaust on the rear chross member,but watch your jack due to the gas tank is on the other side.
Or for wheel changes ect,on the side on the pitch welds.

why dont you buy the plastic ramps from your local auto parts store. Ive used them on all types of vehicles theyre very sturdy and make the job alot easier and safer. Long as you dont launch the car off them u should be fine

$39.99 i think they're well worth it you'll make that money up on the oil changes plus you'll be putting better oil for better maintenance so win win situation.
