Mostly disappointing! Went underneath to survey things out. Wanted to find better lift points than the rocker lips. Car seems to have "frame rails" like the 2005 style, they're just hidden above the plastic cladding. Don't take my word as gospel, but above the letters on the plastic about 8-10 inches forward of the rear fender seems to be a decent spot.
The plastic front air dam where it extends in front of the front fenders is particularly cheesy. I can see this getting blown to bits the first decent snow.
The factory oil filter seems to have Vaseline for a lube. The coarse-threaded screws for the trap door don't seem long for this world-- they're very cheap.
The rear suspension and subframe are a pretty impressive feat of engineering. I have doubts about its rustproofing and will spend a particular amount of time fluid-filming this come Octvember.
