Front jacking point? 07 GT

What's a safe way to jack up the front end of a 05-09 GT? I recall that my floor jack wouldn't fit from the front of the car due to the low ground clearance. I *might* be able to use my low-profile "racing" jack to get in from the front.

On my other cars, I normally used the engine crossmember.

I have to remove the left front wheel to remove the fender liner and primer/paint the inside of the fender that the body shop forgot to paint after they fixed a dent.

I usally put a 2x4 on my floor jack and jack it from where the manual states to put the reg jack when you need to change the tire. When I want the whole front end off the ground I drive up onto a couple of 2x10 or 2x12 boards. That gives me enough room to get the jack on the crossmember.
