No need for pics.
Look/feel along the bottom edges of the sills, about 7-8" behind the front wheel and about 6-7" in front of the rear wheel (going from memory here with the measurements!).
You will see/feel a small triangular indentation in these spots.
These indentations are pointing at the jacking points.
For the front the jack head goes just inside the "ridge" that runs about 3-4" in from the edge of the sill, on a piece of flat chassis bar that is around 1.5" wide.
Make sure the jack head is inside of that ridge as it is fragile plastic and if you jack on it you will break it!
The rear jacking point is easier to find, there is a flat triangle shaped metal plate with three bolts on it and the head of the jack goes smack in the middle of those three bolts.
It helps to have a trolley jack with a small head (roughly 2.5" wide) as opposed to the bigger head type (roughly 5" wide).

If anyone is still interested QuickJacks are on sale again at Costco, $999.99 delivered. Until 5/15. These things are great for those of us that can't fit a full sized lift in our garage and sure makes working on or even detailing the car much easier. Plus remember Costco's return policy, if you don't like it you can return it for a refund at any Costco store for any reason.

Any idea the clearance required to slide those under the car?

3" per QuickJack's web site. They fit under my car with plenty of room but mine's not lowered.

Missed the sale price unfortunately. Let me know if you see them reduced again!

Is there a suitable support area to lift the car - does it just use the edge of the frame?
