Anyone interested in testing a new jack pad design?

Looking for testers to try out a new jack pad (DIY mechanies, weekend warriors, professional are welcome!). It's a part that you fit into the standard plastic BMW jack socket adapter to jack up your car, to protect your car while jacking it up. I know there are many like it out there made of rubber/silicone/aluminum, but this jack pad has a feature where, once inserted, will stay in the socket so you don't have to hold it in place while aligning your jack. This would be a great feature especially for lift users including QuickJacks. It's made of very tough TPU to safely lift your car up. **Not to be used on a jack stand with a grove or a curved saddle.

If interested, please DM me. Thanks!

EDIT 2: Testing is over. Many thanks to those who participated!

It's still in the works and I will post the final photos when ready to be shared. In the mean time, here's a photo of another jack pad that I created for a different car and manufacturer. It will be very similar to this with some different features.
