You've asked this same question a couple of times now. The answers are all going to come back the same. The car can be lifted properly without damage very, very easily.

I've also replied to two of the other threads that you started on the exact same topic here:

You don't have a Vette and you're worried about damaging it?

Some parts places , see midamerica vette cataloge, sell plastic or alum pucks to use when lifting, or go the cheap way & use old hockey pucks.

I agree, don't worry about a problem you don't have. Cracked rocker panels can happen but the odds have to be extremely low. Besides, you can take measures to minimize the risk. Install jacking pucks when you go to a service facility and tell them you did (and what they're for). I use the rectangular BMW pucks...you snap them in and out as needed and they stow-away in the rear cubby when not in use.

Should you get a C6, don't be one of those Corvette owners who's so paranoid about everything you can't enjoy the car.
