I cut a plate for the rear tail which not only gave it a spot to suport a
jack but cleaned up the trim:

When I replaced the front chassis pieces I used heavier metal and
re-enforced it with vertical pieces (including grooves and holes to drain
if needed)should it be jacked on again. I doubt I will jack on it here but
it could be now:

I removed the old tie down hook when I did the chin spoiler and welded in
a tube and a removable tie down hook:
