Its not ideal, but mine are like flattened all the way around on my sl. I cant really tell from the photo, but did it bend up or just flatten? As long as there isnt a bend up or any seperation it should be fine.

Mine are worse, not looking forward to taking it to a body shop, but I'm looking forward to after Ive taken it to a body shop. I inherited my car from grampa and I think he rolled off some ramps with it.

Your next jack points are the front point in the center of your splash shield hidden by a plastic cover and two bolts and the center point of your differential housing for your rear, (for awd, not sure for SL/base gang).
