Who ever has the Xenon side skirts, do yu have any trouble jacking up the car. Today I tried to jack it up for the first time ever since I got my kit and sideskirts were in the way.... when the jack began to go up it pressed against the side skirts and started bending them.

I was using the Honda OEM jack.

What do you guys use to jack up a car that has Xenon sides?

i have that problem with my g5 sides. the only solution i have found requires lifting the car in several steps:

1. you start in the back and lift that up first since that is the highest. place a jack in the back to hold that up.
2. the sides should not be a little bit more off the ground so you can jack up the highest point in your sides and keep doing this process till you move farther and farther to the front of the car.

it is a paint in the ***, but it is the only way i have found to work.

i drive mine on a peice of FLAT wood...

like 1 inch high....then on another peice of wood like 1.3 inch high...

__________ 2 peice
___________________ 1st peice
__________________________ garage

then i jack it up with my 5 ton jack from the FRONT JACK points or TOW poins, around the radiator supprort/around the front of each wheel

NEVER UNDER the sideskirts...

and IMO DONT EVER USE THE OEM JACK!
