How are you supposed to lift up the front end of the car with Amuse Side skirts??
So I have the amuse side skirts, was going to lift up the front end and noticed the side skirts pretty much go all the way out to the metal piece where you're supposed to attach the jack to. Not only that, but once you start cranking up the jack, the levers hit the bottom of the side skirt because it hangs out lower than OEM and starts to crush the bottom of the side skirt, making it impossible to lift up the car without breaking/cracking the piece.
Has anyone encountered this, and what do you do to avoid any damage?

Yep, I use two hockey pucks stacked on top of my floor jack.
I have to position the floor jack under the car in the right spot, then reach under and place the hockey pucks on the cup of the floor jack.

Or drive it up onto some 2x4s to raise it a bit and jack it up from the frame rails.

If someone orders one, I'd just wanna see pics when it shows up. I won't feel bad cause my hockey puck was only $5 shipped.

Hockey pucks work, but I think that this will out last a hockey puck because it has more material once the puck is channeled out. YMMV

I kept the 1006 for my low profile Harbor Freight Jack. It's a little larger than the cup, but as previously mentioned, once it's under way there is no sliding around. It has the flat bottom unlike the cupped 1007 which is designed to fit over the jack cup of smaller jack bases
