Alternate jack spots
I tried jacking up the front of my car, with my own jacking puck and I caved in the point where you are suppose to put the puck. No damage to the fiberglass, but almost.
I made sure the puck was directly over the hole and did not touch the fiberglass. Now the metal is indented, weak, and I can not use those spots to jack up the car.
Any other suggestions for alternative spots to jack up the front of the car?

Just glue 2 hockey pucks together to get some extra height so you don't chance hitting the fiberglass.

I also have a frame saver installed. I piece of metal that runs lengthwise to protect the car from speed bumbs.
I can fit the hockey puck right on the hole. I made my own that is about 6" X 1.5 X 1.5. It fits the area good and disperces the weight a little better. Maybe this was a mistake.
The whole area is caved in way too much. It was bowing my fender out when I lifted it up. Scarred the ^&*( out of me.
Getting to the other points in the front may be a trick. I have ramps, but....
