i was doing an oil change for the first time and i put the jack at the wrong spot. its the spot inbetween the frame and the side lip jack point. its on the driver side and i thought it was a sold piece of metal but i guess i was wrong. it dented in and i dont konw what i damaged. should i worry about the damage i did? here is a diagram were i jacked it up and i circled were it got dented. hope this helps. hope you guys know what im talking about.

You might have put a small dent on the undercarriage floor assembly. I wouldn't worry about it though.

yeah i was feeling the floor board and its lifted up. damn im so stupid. i found out that doing an oil change on the z is a pain in the ***. is there a way to fix it? im perfectionist and things like this bother me.

Don't worry about it, you will eventually run over something and get another one, unless you show the car and use mirrors to display the underside leave it alone.

Don't worry about it, I just put in sway bars and know what, i expect to hear some weird popping noises and cracks and stuff, just don't be dumb enough to put it under plastic next time... the safety stand points do not seem stable though like when you look at it.. feels like the body kit right there will just cave so it gets me paranoid.. i stick it on hard metal.. seems to get the job done.

P.S: I don't have that safety stand "Adapter" so i guess that's why i'm being paranoid, my safety stands are like.. "U" shaped..

Possibly...and some of them didn't even noticed that. So just leave that alone.
Just a FYI, if you are an perfectionist and plan on having that floor panel replaced, you might have to have all 3 changed at the same time (Pass. Side, driver side, center). They require some weld jobs and some painting on on the face inside the car, so it won't be cheap.
Just be more careful next time, it's very normal for a person not being familiar with their new vehicle when they work on it the first couple times.

They are fine with a nice floor jack. I have used them many times for various installs. Just installed some Konis yesterday using those very same jack points. Saves time over setting up the jack stands. If I am actually getting under the car and know that I will be wrenching on something, then I always use the Jack stands and usually with the floor jack still supporting one of the jack points for a little more support.
