Yes, the rules say it must be a minimum length. Have you read Q&A? There are several posts there on how to determine bumper length. The condensed version is that bumper length is determined by the length of bumper that has all 3 of the required parts (backing, noodles, and cloth). Because the bumpers wrap around the corners, and the backing cannot extend into the corners, your side bumpers have 2 segments apiece, and both segments must be at least 6" long due to covering the corners. Therefore, the segment that goes on the front must be 6" long or more. And, to say the least, your front corners look a bit narrow to take a 6" long bumper. I will return shortly after a visit to Q&A to locate the relevant threads.
