There's two jack points below the rocker moulding directly under the "A" pillar. I used a jack stand but you can also use an axle stand, same thing. Pictured is the left side so do the same for the right side and you should be set.

Stands? Or do you mean a jack to lift from the front of the car?

If you lift the car on that thin edge of metal like that, Will it be bended and folded flat?

We are supposed to lift the car by the base of that seam, but not on the seam itself.

The factory jack fits right into that thin edge, so it is right. I am assuming that this is not what the OP is asking for. He wants to lift the front end, so he can slide stands in those spots. Maybe I'm wrong. Try this one:

Taken from cyberscorp's thread, "DIY: 2012MY led headlight installation ("how to"):

The top and middle picture (from top to bottom) is the front center jack point and the bottom picture is the side jack point.


This thread might help as well:
