bent my jacking point underneat

Same thing happened to my z when installed bunch of stuffs under the car. I tried to bent it back. But some how. Decided to leave it alone. Because it won't back to normal figure and just mess it more. So just leave it alone and maybe spray something like rubber to cover it and to avoid rust. Get over it buddy!

I did that about 7 years ago for My 350Z and I am still using it on the 370. It's cheap and you probably have the materials you need right there at home.

Food for thought...............

Good idea, thanks.... But don't you still have to be careful where you put the wood block? If you put it under the front floor plan you will buckle it for sure. So do you have a tip for placing the block, please? TIA
