Hopefully you have them now. They sure do save damage to the rocker panel should you have to lift the car.

Yes you do. You can't trust the mechanic to lift your car correctly.
Make sure to bring along jacking pucks.

As a new owner, make sure to read on the C5 here:

Alternatively, you can make your own for under $20. All you need is 4 hockey pucks, 4 washers, and 4 eye screws.
