New member here. Greetings Fiero colleagues. I was just wondering what the best way to tell mechanics how to put the Fiero on lifts. Will be getting tires soon and am worried that some newbie unfamiliar will jack it up and ruin my under car coolant tubes. Thank you!

Press the point that the lower rocker panels are plastic. Local tire shop found this out on my car the hard way. It ended up costing them $1500 for the rocker panel and front fender replacement and repaint.
This was just 5 days after the entire car was just painted so body shop still had the paint in stock.

I keep laminated copies of the lift points in my car.
