I'll set the price right now. $50, plus shipping, for the set of four.

under the car, at the jack points and just inside the groove, is a raised elongated portion that fits the jackstand profile quite well. I've always used those - why do you need to use adapters?

Just didn't want to take a chance....at the pinch welds.
The adapters are used to contact more surface area (of the body).

Looks great and I would buy a set of 4 adaptors (or whatever you call them) in a heartbeat if you are interested in making more and selling them. I bet you will find that there is a lot of interest.

I, like others, have searched for something similar with no luck. I currently use the points described by rcdash with folded rags between the frame and stand.

Is there a central jacking point from the front like your last pic? I have aftermarket sideskirts and cant really go from the side.

*edit i see it on your 2nd to last pic, where is the point you're jacking up on?

There is a central jack point (shown in the diagram) but you need to raise the G, or at least one side, in order to get at it (with a "regular" Floor Jack. This location is right behind the "undercover". The only other alternatives are to either use a lift, a pit or a extended low-profile jack (expensive) !!
