There is a good spot between the drivers side door and front tire for the jack and jackstands. i just used one to do the whole job. I hate spending time jacking up the front part of the car and the back part. Make sure car is in gear and parking brake set if you do it this way. Its quick and fairly effective but you will be on your back on the ground to do it this way though.

Race ramps FTW lol. Ive been wondering the same thing. When I installed my exhaust on my integra I just used the regular jack points on the side on the car and just hoped that the car wouldnt fall on top of me so I definitely don't recommend that method.

Do racing ramps get your car high enough so that you can work under it...? It still looks like it'd be pretty frustrating to work under there, there wouldn't be much room.

People, seriously now, do not use the side rails (notched areas) unless you want to severely damage your car's unibody.
