I don't have a pic handy dude but do it just behind the front tires and just in front of the rear tires. Make sure you are not crushing the plastic rocker panel covers.

I'm not being a smartass here, didn't you get an owners manual with your car?

no prob.

Here. This is a sixxer but it looks the same as a GT except for the exhaust. The jack points are the same.

The Pics are good and for the rear, you can also use the knuckle where the lower part of the shock attaches to the rearend (behind the brakes.

I don't know about the center jack point on the front. I'd be very leary about putting the entire weight of the front (or rear for that matter) in one spot. I normally jack up each side separately.

Yep, you're gonna need a 5/16" fuel line disconnet tool and you will need to unplug the fuel pump trip switch in the trunk of the car, start it up, and let it die (run out of fuel).

It'll take about 2 minutes to replace once you're under the car.

I know what you mean dude. I just grabbed the pics real quick from ALLDATA. That's alot of weight on the front.

lol...noooooo...screwdriver will only get the retainers off the filter...doesn't do anything for getting the lines off the filter itself. 03 mustang right? 99 and up need a little tool that runs like $5 or $6 bucks at any auto parts store

'Fuel Line Disconnect tool' 5/16"
