New guy needs help to ID flares

[NorCal Ollie]

Hi guys,

After years of lurking your forum, I've finally purchased my first 911. It's a 1968 911L (yes, the one from eBay). The car is on it's way to CA from MI. I'm trying to have the car ready to go to some events at Monterey car week but if I'm going to make my timeline I need to order bumpers right away. I'm not a fan of the Iroc bumpers.

Here is where I need the help. Nobody can definitely tell me what flares are on the car and therefore I can't figure out what bumpers to order. If I have to wait till the car gets here, it wont be ready in time for Monterey. Not the end of the world but if the answer is obvious to anyone the help would be appreciated. The previous owner is really nice but he didn't know much about the car or Porsches in general.

I know the rear flares are fiberglass and it has 15x8 Fuchs all around. I've already ordered the new suspension components and I have 7" Fuchs for the front, amongst other stuff.

Can anyone tell me what fenders/flares are on the car and what my bumper options are?

Thanks in advance and I look forward to repaying the favor.

Looks like ST/RSR style front flares but it looks like someone also installed front flares in back in terms of width.

I wouldn't be as concerned about which flares those are.

I'd be more concerned about how much time it will take to massage ANY fiberglass bumper to fit the way that you want, even if they are meant for the flares that you have.

There is a lot of good and bad glass out there, but my experience with bumpers is, unlike good quality fenders or duck tails that can bolt right on, it seems that bumpers always need massaging to meet the unique tolerances of a car that has had flares added later.
