Default What side skirts supports jack points....?

Just wondering what other side skirts out there supports the side jack points. I currently have the comptech sides and find it very useful cause I jack my car up often. I really like the GP Sports sides and rears but this question has to be answered first. If it doesnt support the stock jack points its a no go for me. Thanks in advance.

You jack the car up on the side skirts?

That will break ANY side skirt. The side jacking points are further in than the side skirts go.

I am able to reach the side jacking points with my INGS side skirts, and have jacked up a car with Airwalker sides also. Because my car is lowered, my jack just barely doesn't fit under the car with the side skirts on. I just drive up on a scap piece 2x6 and then I can reach with my jack.

I think he means "access to the stock jack points" - not actually jacking the car up by the actual skirt itsself.

I ran Airwalker and GP SPorts Sides without too much issue. You just have to either drive the S2000 onto something that sits it up high enough for the jack to get under, buy a lower jack, or use the Honda supplied jack to get the car high enough for a floor jack to do the rest.

My problems came in getting alignments done, but I just grabbed some 2x4's before heading in to the shop.

OK, thanks for the imput. I heard that most aftermarkets side skirt did not allow you to jack up your car, obviously it'll crush the sides before reaching the jack points. So I had to make sure seeing that I'm thinking about losing the comptech sides.

Thanks to all who chimed in on certain sides, that helps. I'm favoring the GP sports and the Airwalker.
