The bumper shouldn't be THAT hard to take off, but if worse comes to worse just buy some ramps. They should cost around 30 dollars. OH yeah don't forget to put those stoppers behind the rear wheels to avoid the car rolling on top of you.

just put a piece of wood down, like a 2x4, and just run it over and itll give you a 2 inch lift. then you should be able to get a jack under there. or just keep building it up higher till you can get a jack under there

Exactly, thats what i do, except i put another 2X4 ontop and make it like a stair case and i get a 4" lift so my Jack would fit under my side skirts......

there are racing jacks that should fit under even the lowest cars but they are pretty expensive. last time i saw one it was about 250 bucks and that was the cheap one

Actually Harbor Freight has one for $199. That's cheap for a good jack. Shop floor jacks are lilke $300+

My friends have the racing jack and it's nice and friggin light!
