Jack and jack stand positioning
Does anyone have a picture of the proper jack and jack stand positions for the front and rear?
Forgive the basic question, but search didn't yielded much help.

Yup !! Me too. If you want illustrations you can easily check the manual. It will diagram the entire thing for you

if you put the jack between the 2 notches to jack it up. where do you put the jack stand at? i dont have the manual with me now, still at work but i dont remember it illustrating the diagram. like what most people are saying just place it between the 2 notches, but that just to do light work like changing the tire what if i want to install springs. i want to have it on a jack stand to be safe. been wanting to ask this question for a while but when i did a search, i saw a couple thread but no one ever answers them.
oh i ended up bending the pinch weld a while back with a floor jack

The manual has photos of both the front and rear jack positions. The photo of the rear is clear enough, but I'm not sure about the front. Can anyone verify or correct my assumption on the bottom photo?
Here is the page from the manual.
Here is a photo of the two notches in the pinch weld ... this is where the emergency jack goes. I'm paranoid that I would mangle this with a floor jack or jack stands.
This is a view of the rear jack position, as shown in the manual.
This is a view of what I think is the front jack position.

Just to follow up on this and close the thread, I verified that the location of the front jack position in the manual is the same as the one in my photo above.
I jacked up the car this past weekend and put her on stands to paint and decal my calipers (finally). The paint and decal work was gravy and took no time, and turned out just the way I wanted it.
And yes, I'm shamefully still riding on my 18" OEM wheels with unsightly and humiliating wheel gap.
I'm going to put on some F-Sport springs for the modest 1" drop, and 20" wheels - probably MMR HR2's or Vossen VVS-CV1's - in a few weeks!

The jack and jack stand positions are in the owners manual. If you don't have a copy, I posted the manual in this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-went-off.html
