We use those kind of composite panels for the whole passenger deck floor on commercial planes. Every time I see them, I covet the material. I can't imagine it was cheap...

BTW, the lift is supporting the car in the pic.
We built 3 removable lowered jacking points per side to be able to jack the car up from the one in the middle that you can see in the pic, and then set it on jack stands.
The jacking points are flush with the flat bottom other than the small bends on the front and back of each plate to positively locate jack stands.

And carry all that weight around?
Noob!
Unless you're going for strictly endurance racing or have a weight cap for a series that you're WELL under, external air jacks are the way to go.

There are better ways to spend a few thousands of dollars on a race car.

And there is absolutely no profit margin in them being made in the US.

I suspect in a few more years that will be more of the Boeing supply chain that ends up in Malaysia.
