Default Jack points with ground effects

Really dumb question so please dont bash. I havent had this car up on jacks for anything yet but i just got my dezod exhaust and will be installing it on tues. So the question is with the ground effects on the car where do you guys reccomend jacking the car from. On my maxima i always used the jack points on the side of the frame but that would obviously crack the sideskirts on this car. Also im working with only two stands so do i just lift one side or just the front not back. Need some suggestions to make life easy.
thanks

I have the 5Axis lip kit on my tC and I am on Htechs. When I have had to jack my car up, I have just used the regular jack points with the standard jack that comes with the tC. The 5Axis side skirts are 7 inches wide and the standard tC jack just barley cleared the skirts as the car was being jacked up. As for the number of jack stands I am not sure. I would think 2 would be fine and on one side.

just use your frame for your jack stands.

use the jack points recommended in the manual.. you will do fine with jack stands too.

if you are lowered you might need to use first the scissor jacks that comes with the car until you raise it high enough to use some hydraulic jacks to raise it higher but never ever use the scissor jacks to raise the car to install the jack stands!

use the stock points.
the ones on the side will not harm the GFX in any way.
