When I got to the front, my floor jack would not fit under the front bumper to get to the Lexus recommended jack point. So I tried going in from the side, which also did not work. I tried looking for an alternative lift point and found what I thought to be a good place at the time to place the jack. Unfortunately, I was wrong.

I heard metal bend and immediately lowered the car. I'm usually not this dumb and would look for other solutions before just jacking the car up but I was tired and not thinking.

So I have two questions.
1) What did I put that nice dent into? I removed the rubber plug and felt around and I don't think, or I hope, it didn't hit anything above it. (image is attached below. That is the front passenger side.)

2) Where is a good jack point that a floor jack could access to lift the front up?

Any help would be appreciated

So im sure you may have figured it out by now. That being said, i put my car up on low pro ramps to get the car off the ground. Youll have enough clearance to get your jack underneath to the center jack point. Its a few extra steps, worth it in the long run.
