Okay, on the sides there should be two pieces of metal (one on each side) sticking out, about 2 inches long and half an inch to an inch deep, that's where the jack stands go... and to jack it up, use the jack point at either the front or the back, depending on which end you need to work on. The points in the front and back are fairly easy to spot, so it shouldn't be too hard.

thanks for the info main...

so to recap if i want to do an oil change i would locate the CENTER jack point on the front of the car....raise that up and then place the jack stands by the arrows DIRECTLy underneathe the metal parts that stick out...


cooL i got it now...

it looks like a metal rod that's bent in a u-shape under the front bumper... it stands out pretty well, right in the middle, more towards the driver's side.
