Help! where are the jack points on a 2002 Civic 4dr?

my friend's trying to find the jack points for his car, but he doesnt know where the rear one is, and cant use the side jack points because he wants to put jackstands where those side jack points are. where are the jack points toward the center of the car?

they are in the same place as the WRX, behind the front wheel well, and in front if the rear wheel well in the seam just under the skirt area.
here are a couple pics I just took of my girlfriends 03 civic:

he's trying to save those spots for the jackstands.

since you don't have a rear diff to use as a jacking point, see if there are frame rails located inboard of the locations at which you intend to place the jackstands, and if so, use them.

yeah uhm, even with a floor jack you can jack it up and fit a jack stand under there, I did it on my own WRX when I installed the catback the other night, and when ever I rotate my tires.

if it's anything like the older civics, the jack points are the towhook in the back, below the bumper, and in front, it's a piece of metal plate right behind the front bumper.
