Default Jacking up my honda

Anyone have any links as to how to jack a 97 honda accord se up? I have the jack stands and jack, but my chiltons manual doesn't show me really where to do this and I want to do it right. Pics are a BIG plus. Thanks!

in the owners manual it will show the spots along the bottom of the body panels that are points for using the carjack, you can feel along the bottom of the body to find tabs that stick down and are double wall.
If you want to use a trolley jack to lift the car, put it under the subframe at the rear of the engine compartment to lift the car, and use the jack stands at the factory lift points along the lower body sides.
Sorry no pics, I've always used a bend-pak 2 post lift.

here jack it up by these, they are located right behind the front wheels, and right in front of the rear wheels.

as far as locations to put the jack stands I personally just look for the frame piece that the lower A arm (the A looking piece that connectes to your hubs/tires) is attached to and put them under there, use the jacking points that they showed and just put your jackstands on either side on that frame piece then lower it slowly...

Check the accord service manual for details....if you don't have it you can download it form the DIY section for free...click on ONLINE MANUALS...Desert posted a link there. Mine was found in the "intro" section.
