Amazon (ZL1 Style) Jack Pad on CT4

Really appreciate this thread. I finally got a weekend to tackle this with some Race Ramps. Those with CF1/2, the ramps did rub on the front splitter a little, luckily mine is PPF'd. Ended up using some towels right before the lip touched the ramp on the way down. Luckily not too much dmg to the PPF underneath and at the very tip on the front.

I only did the fronts. Trimmed in the same area, but ended up going all the way to the outside of the black trim. Also put the front ones as close to the front as possible to match up where the usual lift point is. I figure as long as you're in the general area, it's fine.

I'll tackle the rears and an oil change another weekend.
Do you have the 72" or 56" Race Ramps? Was thinking of purchasing a set but not if they rub the CF.
 
72" Race Ramps and I ended up buying the extension they sell. The extensions worked like a charm.
 
I knocked this out yesterday and had great results. My Lowes didn't have the correct length M6x1.0 so I had to go with 30mm, which is fine.

I selected almost the exact same positions as OP, with a few cm further rearward for the back placements. All 4 corners required trimming of rocker plastic but it took just a minute or two with a sharp utility knife.

The front position has an existing cutout of the body colored plastic, but you'll need to trim the black plastic that's 'higher' up towards the floor. See PIc 4.

The rear position will require you to trim the body colored plastic. I went a few cm further rearward for these than OP, so I could make use of an existing cut where a tab was. See Pic 1&2.

The best part for me is that these positions are now perfect for use with my QuickJack 5000SLX and the tall lifting blocks that came with them. I'm less sure at this point how I'll lift the car with floor jack and jack stands with these pad positionings, but I don't anticipate needing to do that very often.
Why didn't you use the factory cut out in the rear? Was it for better placement of the Quickjack? It looks like they should fit on the rear.
