Yes. Straight line down from the door buttons. Silver rectangles at belly pan seams.
Agreed...however, only on a Forum with this level of enthusiasm and detail could you find a picture like this!I don’t suggest jacking it quite that high however.

When I did this recently, I used the yellow circles in the picture above. I knew I was in the right place when I reached under the car and felt the hole.Hello. New to the forum and new GT owner. I'm attempting to take the wheels off to swap tires. I wanted to clarify that if you lift from the small rectangular piece of metal below the door release button will it lift the entire side of the car so that both wheels may be removed? If not, is there a closer lift point near the back of the front wheel rather than the frame lift point behind the front rotor? I noticed a ~3/8" hole in the rocker just past the lower fairing bolts on the front and back and wondered if that was a strong enough area to lift? I have a swing arm Rotary lift but am looking at a low profile floor jack with a 15" reach arm. Thanks in advance for any feedback you may have.
Yes, lifting at the blue circles will simultaneously lift both the front and rear wheels off the ground. I think most of us place a hockey puck on the jack's lifting plate, and you need to make sure the puck is pushing up on the firewall, not forward or rearward of it, and centered well on the firewall or it's possible it could slide off. Tap the bottom of the car with your finger and you can tell which surfaces are thin / hollow and then where the solid firewall is. I lay on the floor when doing it, and even then it's kinda hard to see. Flashlight helps.Hello. New to the forum and new GT owner. I'm attempting to take the wheels off to swap tires.

Did you mean "blue" circles? I think the red circles were identifying something else on the bottom of the car but now I'm not sure? My database shows the same picture with no red circles and with the red circles identifying other spots (with no comments)???I use the red circled lift points to lift a side, and yellow for individual corners. A small lifting puck is essential to avoid marking up the floor pans. I drive the car onto small sections of 2x12, raising it 1.5”, so my jack fits underneath, and makes it easier to see underneath as well.
Ditto what extrap said. I do it this way frequently. Use a hockey puck or other firm rubber pad between the jack saddle and the car.Yes, lifting at the blue circles will simultaneously lift both the front and rear wheels off the ground.

So did the GTGuys when they worked on my car in a garage (not their normal workshop).Ditto what extrap said. I do it this way frequently. Use a hockey puck or other firm rubber pad between the jack saddle and the car.
