On my first gen, they're on the side. About six inches in from the bottom edge of the car, you'll see a skinny rib running from just in front of the rear tire, to just behind the front tire. This rib is on both sides.....hope thats clear enough.

Yep, about 6=8 inches from the wheel wells. You'll see a metal rail under the car, with a little indentation--that's the jacking point. Jack the car up a little to one side or the other on the rail if you're going to use a jackstand. And yes, the other parts of the rail might bend, but it won't hurt your car if you do it slowly ;)
