Just remember to only lift the car from that location while allowing to place ramps under the rear tires or jack stands under the rear subframe elbows. Just to be on the safe side . I've lifted the car at that point many times, like a lot other owners with zero issues. Just don't lift the car from the fins themselves, but that's common sense. Put the jack under the solid area. You can look thru one of the rear wheels to get the location right .
