Yeah, but would a 1x3 orange tile with technic pin 1/2 with friction ridges do the same job.

Thankfully the 1x3 reddish orange tile is relatively easy to source. The g500 has them so if i will get this set i have to try this mod first:). Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted Wednesday at 10:54 AM Posted Wednesday at 10:54 AM The front fender is either not entirely on grid so a connector with a low friction pin is needed to increase the tolerance, or that fender has to be rotated during the build, so a connector with a low friction pin makes rotation easier.

Thirdwigg Posted Wednesday at 11:02 AM Posted Wednesday at 11:02 AM It looks like the front fender is new as well. It seems 3 modules high on the rear, and 2 on the front. This is the first side specific fender. Quote

It's kinda like the new flat fender piece with a fender flare on the front. Quote
Zerobricks Posted Wednesday at 12:59 PM Posted Wednesday at 12:59 PM I would not trust the high-res photo too much since it looks AI upscaled and even parts that are same don't look the same - like the curved slopes above the lights. Quote

While looking a lot better:). It would be a bit weaker connection, and also look kind of edgy (the edge might even collide with the fender piece). If it fits, I'd rather use this piece Does not exist in reddish orange though.. 8 hours ago, Thirdwigg said: It looks like the front fender is new as well.

Something seems off on those fender pieces in the clearer images, so I'd agree with @Zerobricks that it might be the AI making stuff up. Quote
