The frunk is basically a plastic box. Placing your jack under any part of it with the intention of lifting half a ton of trike is not a cool idea. At the very least it will deform the frunk, it might even crack it.
If, like me, you're not able to get your trolley jack under the front to where the frame member is, lift the suspension under the A-frames a bit at a time, left and right alternately, and put supporting pieces of wood under the tires. I use off-cuts of scaffold planking for this, about 2" thick. When the Spyder is about 6" elevated I can push my trolley jack under the Spyder from the front back to where the main frame is and lift it safely. Better safe than sorry every time.

Noooo..!!
as mentioned before that is not study enough to hold the weight of your roadster. Don't know what jack you are using or what you intend on doing but the best place is along the lower frame. If it is a single pad jack make sure you have jack stands to support the roadster..be safe...
