Default Side splitters and side jacking

To those who have installed side splitters on their C5’s, has this caused you any access or usability issues relative to the jacking points/puck locations along the side of these cars?

So I presume then that the holes where the lifting pucks are inserted do not get blocked by the side splitters? If not the then are the lifting pucks still fully accessible for jacking? Those are the sort of issues I was trying to find out about. Can someone comment more specifically regarding these particular concerned please.

Thanx
