safe to put car on lift?

i have a coupe with a body kit and dropped with neuspeed sport springs. i need to rotate my tires and can get it done for free at the place that mounted my tires. i just got my body kit a couple months back and i have never put my car on a lift since then. the type of lift this place uses is a lift that has four arms that go under the car behind the wheels in the front and before the wheels in the back. these arms then go up and raise the car. my only concern is that if the arms of the lift are under the skirts of the kit, will the skirts be ok?

btw the kit is a wings west

actually they wont lift the car by the frame, they will lift it just underneath the fenders and quarter panels. there are actually marked spots that specify where to lift the car. I know this becuase i've lifted my car many times at my fathers shop with the exact same lift. just make sure the body kit isn't covering that specified spot
