Thanks for the suggestion. I have never used the frame but next time I'm under the car I'll take a look.

That is a good tip. Post that in the YouTube comments as well!

In retrospect, Honda should not have had 2 tabs in the front that look so similar...when only one tab is the correct jacking point.
