There are plastic pads at the rear of the front fenders (just don't get on lower lip of the fender where it says "don't jack here" (or something like that) ).

I don't jack there anymore, mine started to crack. I use the point where subframe connectors would sit (the part of the subframe with 2 holes in it).

That means to not jack on the fender lip. The pads are the jack point.

The original poster did not limit his question to the stock jack. With other types of jacks, and with specific chassis lift types, there are numerous places other then the notch in the rocker panel lip, to jack the car. If using anything that does not have a perfectly flat surface, it would be a good idea to place something flat under the plastic jacking block, so it doesn't crack.

I jack the rear on the rear subframe and put jackstands under the axle and the front by the pads on the subframe where the subframe connectors would go.
