Jacking strip under car maybe?
Was looking under my car today to see where those pucks go. As I got this car back in November I haven't had a need to jack it up. So was looking to day and there is a medal strip about 1" wide by say 4 feel long and about 1/4 inch thick. It goes over both the front and back holes where the pucks go. It does sit where I could put a flat board on my jack and jack it up. Does this sound like that is what it is for or is it a skid plate of some sort?

Yes, you can jack it up using the "Rocker Savers" Mine are thicker because I made them thicker for reason.

Quite a few Forum vendors sell the rocker rails. I have the original A&A rails. They are cheaper but cover the holes for the pucks. Elite Engineering make a nice set which have cutouts which take the pucks.
You can jack the car on any of them. the main thing to avoid is any contact with the SMC which covers the rocker panel as it will crack if the jack makes contact. Pucks or rails achieve that. The SMC is bonded to the car so it's a PITA to change the rocker panel.

If you have these, then you can jack anywhere on them. Just make sure the jack won't slip into the rocker. I often jack right in the middle of mine.
