X3, that's the place.

BTW Talon, I'm a little dubious on jacking a car from the AC protector bar. That bar isn't designed to hold the weight of the car. It's designed to protect the condenser from getting pranged by a curb when you're parking. But then again I really don't know how solid it is, as I never had a car (before the 993) that had AC.

Works great, even on 'flexible' targas. Quick way to get the front up in the air.

I'm not sure what model is pictured. You're right, of course; SCs with air conditioning have an evaporator (I think) with a mesh shroud installed in that area.

Thanks for the comments, guys. Big help.
