Default 360 Spider lift

My boss has an 04 360 Spider. He has a huge garage with a two post lift in it. He wants to get the Spider up in the air to inspect the undercarriage. I took a quick look under the car yesterday. I really don't see any place to put the lift pads. I would really appreciate any suggestions. If there are any pics that would be great. Thanks for any help in advance

Look at the rear undertray from the side of the car. You will see a large circular cut-out towards the outside of the car for the lifting pad. If it's not obvious, look along the bottom of the plastic sill-covering at the bolt-heads. Count three along from the back, then look inwards a bit, and you will see it. For the front, look just behind the wheel-well at the chassis, you will see a long flat piece of metal extending under the floor. Anywhere here is fine, it's all structural. If the ramp has square lifting pads, it won't fit in the rear holes. You can get around this by getting a two inch thick piece of wood and roughly cutting two round shapes to fit these holes. Also be aware that because these cars are very low, you might find it difficult to get the ramp legs under it. If this is the case proceed as follows:Find a good strong piece of wood, like a scaffolding plank, and cut it into four. You can then position these under the wheels and drive over them to get the legs under.
