If your jack is long enough and low profile enough you can jack from the black bar right behind the rear exhaust pipe clamps. It is structurally sound. I have an 8x4" rubber lined steel jack attachment from when I had my C7 that fits this location perfectly.

Spend the money on the ZL1Addon products. Worth every penny.

Pads are fine to get it in the air, but the jack stands don't go where you jack it with the pads.

If you look at the rear end your jacking on the point right where it bolts together. Does not give me a feel good at all.

This might sound kind of dumb, but is it possible to get a wrinkle/dimple in one of the 1/4 panels by jacking a front corner?

Blue box will crunch as it is aluminum through and through. The red part is good. The orange spots are also hallow and will buckle.



The black bar behind the differential is a spot, but you have 2 seams on both sides of the car to jack from.

Use the spots here:

Those blue spot s will very much buckle and crease inwards toward the body. Be very care and or avoid using those spots.

A $3 hockey puck also works just as good if not better.

JackPoint Jack Stands solve the issue but they are somewhat pricy.
