Question jacking up my TL

Okay, I went out and got 4 jackstands and a jack, but I wanna be sure where I jack up the car and where to place the jackstands. I think I read that you were supposed to jack up the car from the tow hooks and then place the jackstand under the factory jackpoints. I don't wanna tear through my car so please help!

I've taken pics of what I'm sure are the right places, but I just want to make sure..

Here's that hook in the front corner of the car, on the driver's side:

The only place to jack up the car is on the factory jackpoint that you have in picture #3

Do NOT put a jackstand on there. That is there for towning your car, not to support it.

There are a total of 6 factory jackpoints.

1) on the front, right on the center of the car after the shield guard.

2) The 4 linear jackpoints, 2 on the left and 2 on the right. This are the only jackpoints you should put jackstands.,

3) The rear one where is shown on the picture above.

The front and rear jackpoints should be only use to lift the car.
If you want to put your car on 4 jackstands. Get 2 pieces of wood about 1"- 2" high that you could put under the front wheels, then drive up the car on top of them. This is if your car is lowered. If your car is not lowered, skip that part. put a piece of wood on the jack and place the jack under the front center point and lift, then put the 2 jack stands under behind each wheel. Make sure the hand(E) brake is on. Then go to the back and jack the car up from the back point and then add the 2 jack stands in front of the rear wheels on their jacking points. Hope this helps.

Yes the loop is the jacking up point. Right the one on the second pic.

You are welcome.
