I now keep one on top of the spare for when I am changing wheels and tires at the track, and one in my roll cab. The others will be used when necessary, but these work exceptionally well. Simple, will not scratch, and very inexpensive.
I just ordered one myself! I worked on the car this weekend and became very frustrated with the lack of jacking points underneath the car.

Pardon my ignorance but I still am slightly confused.. I understand the rear jack point and then you can place the stand under car right in front of the rear wheels.. But if I want to raise the entire front end with no ramps, where does everyone put the stands if the pinch welds are currently being occupied by the jack itself.

Before i bought race ramps, I used the frame rather than the pinch welds to jack the car up, then use the jacks on the pinch welds. As long as you are carefuk with the placement of the jack, your frame will not get bent or damaged. Otherwise, I use race ramps then jack the car up at the front center jack point if I need to get more clearance underneath. Race ramps are a great investment IMO.

In that case, lift the whole front at once using the jack point in front of the oil pan.

Unless you have a very low profile jack, you'll need some help getting the front high enough to fit the jack underneath. I use ramps I made from a 2 x 10. I just cut it into four pieces so it ramps up to double thickness and I can get the jack under the car without any issues.

Very close to what I did with the wood ramps. I can easily get to the center jack point, and then use stands.

We also offer our FIGS JACKJAW which is made to fit under the sideskirt of the F and not have jack interference. The urethane interface keeps the rail aligned.

Same thing here, slightly different execution. I glued and screwed it together with deck screws.

It'll do the job! The reason I went with 2x4's was to reduce weight. I have spinal damage.
