I have a 5th gen 94 civic hatch. I was wondering where the front and rear jacking points for a floor jack (Not the reinfored jacking points for the changing tire), so that I can put jack stands under reinfored jacking points after the car is jacked up? (Well, I cannot put jack stand in if I jack up my car using reinfored jacking point anyway). Some one said I should use little metal bump offcenter(more near driver side) behind the bumper underneath the radiator. But said one said that it is radiator support and using it as jacking point will bend the the radiator support in half. Some suggested to use front tow hood on left and right side, but the tow hood doesn't seems strong, only a thin sheet of metal). Whic is the correct front and rear jacking point for floor jack? Please let me know what you guys do to jack your car up.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I've used the one under the bumper for awhile the radiator has not bent yet.

Just look for a real strong surface underneath the car.
For the front & rear, my bro & I usually jack my car from a strong "bump." I think it's what your talking about but, pix will really clarify.
