The body is designed to accommodate 15-inch or 16-inch wheels, depending on the trim level.

Q2

What are the maintenance requirements for the Infiniti G20 body?

Regular maintenance for the Infiniti G20 body includes inspecting and cleaning the exterior for rust or damage, especially in areas prone to corrosion. Waxing the body every 3-6 months helps preserve the paint. Check and replace weather stripping and seals as needed to prevent leaks. Inspect the undercarriage for damage or rust, particularly in regions with harsh winters. Ensure proper alignment of body panels and address any unusual noises or vibrations promptly.

Q3

How do I replace a damaged body panel on the Infiniti G20?

To replace a damaged body panel, first, remove the interior trim or fasteners securing the panel. Use a socket wrench to detach bolts or screws. Carefully disconnect any electrical components, such as lights or sensors. Align the new panel and secure it with the appropriate fasteners. Reconnect electrical components and test functionality. Finally, adjust the panel for proper fit and finish, ensuring gaps are even and flush with adjacent panels.

Q4

What should I do if my Infiniti G20 body has rust or corrosion?

If rust or corrosion is detected, clean the affected area with a wire brush or sandpaper to remove loose material. Apply a rust converter to neutralize remaining rust, followed by a primer designed for metal surfaces. Once dry, apply matching paint to restore the finish. For severe rust, consult a professional to assess structural integrity and determine if panel replacement is necessary.

Q5

How can I optimize the performance of my Infiniti G20 body?

To optimize performance, ensure the body is aerodynamically sound by repairing or replacing damaged panels. Use lightweight aftermarket components where possible to reduce weight. Regularly clean the undercarriage to prevent debris buildup, which can affect handling. Consider adding a rear spoiler or front lip for improved stability at higher speeds. Proper alignment of body panels also reduces drag and enhances fuel efficiency.
