I am still wondering if it is possible to for the jack to have warped the frame because of wrong positioning?
I believe that any damage would be purely cosmetic. Put your car on an alignment rack and that will tell you if your alignment is off. If your alignment is off, then just simply have it re-aligned, thus leaving you with only cosmetic damage.

Sorry for 
ing up your thread, but next time when you take your car to a shop for service, maybe mention in a polite, discreet way, the four designated lifting points on your vehicle as per Honda.

The jacka$$ that installed your tires may have damaged/bent the lower body due to not using the designated lifting points, but I don't believe that any damage that may have been caused would be enough to throw off your alignment.

BIG THANKS to everyone here who have dedicated a little time to help answer my questions. Thank you RACER and anth305 for helping put away some of my worries with your reassurance and comments. And don't worry RACER whore on 
My biggest concern was a warped frame from a bad jack point. From what I can tell nothing is bent is too badly. He left the jackstand on the sidebar frame of the driver side door slit in front. GRRR, but if what you all say is true, then congrats to me. I can go ahead and mod on with the S. If anyone else has more to comment please do!
Once again I am grateful to everyone who offered their time and insight.

You should take your car to a body shop and have them write you an estimate for any cosmetic damage caused by the tech who lowered your car onto a non-designated lifting point. Bring the estimate to the shop owner along with your owners manual.
I say do massive burn outs !!
