Default 968 clear blinkers

Does anyone know where to purchase clear blinker lenses for a 968....do they also make ones that cover the small front bumperette space if you remove them?/

I do not know of a clear turn signal lens sold specifically for the 968 but the 993 clear lens does fit, not perfectly, but it does fit.

Porsche does make turn signal lenses that cover the black bumperettes in the standard orange color. They are called euro lenses (standard on euro-spec cars) and can be ordered from several places. I ordered mine from Sunset Imports in Portland, OR which sells Porsche parts at cost plus 15% (before shipping).

We call them 968 lenses here in europe, you guys have something else

993 clear lense does not fit so well. Check out the fitment of these pictures i took of friends 968





My friend sold the clear lenses and moved back to original orange ones. Also new original orange fender blinkers were bought from a local VW dealer's part strore. Friend also installed 968 17" CUP I wheels and sold those Sport Classics. 968 turbo spitter which can be seen in the pictures was made by me.I also paited it. Still have two extra ones left.....
Also different kind of rear lights were available. Check out these 968s in my yard

Japan model cab


Euro CS


Japan model Coupe


In the same picture japan,euro & US spec cars

+1 take 15 mins to install & are a perfect fit.

I said it before and I'll say it again - all the cool guys are in Finland!

There's no clear 968 turn signal lens.

You can buy "euro" turn signals that allow you to delete the bumperettes. Most people don't notice, but this euro lens has no reflector in the rear tip like the US one... no big deal, just sayin'.
