look towards the back tire about a foot away you will see two indentations in the frame. I mean its not hard to see. Also we used our floor jack around the circular indentation just around the same area.

Well you can see where your supposed to jack it up if you look hard. I mean its not really science all cars have those indentiations. Also check out a chiltons manual it helps.

As for the front its like a foot or so behind the front wheel.

Just line it up.

Which point is for the jackstands?!? I thought prophecy was telling me where to put the jackstands so I put them about a foot inward of the wheel on what looked like a metal brace..

Well,
If your on the side of the road and your using that weak *** jack that comes with most car you use it at the saftey stand points.

If your in a garage you use the spots listed in the diagram. Saftey stands are just that for your saftey. Invest in some stands if your going to be under the car.
