Default lifting the car

It seems a great deal of you work on your car...perhaps you would share your methods for lifting the front end up 14-16 inches off the ground-SAFELY. I would like to install air vents in the fog lamp area.

I do not have acces to a real lift.

Rhino makes plastic drive up ramps that are low enough to go under the C5 nose and get the car up almost one foot. You can get them at walmart for around $40.
