im probably going to get flamed to hell and gone for this but which pop up headlights are the worst in terms of aesthetics

here's my vote

Kinja'd!!!

the round body on the headlights just doesnt quite suit the rest of the body shape

So wrong, yet so right. Same goes for the Porsche. I like them both, but they are butt ugly.

I have always been in love with the 928 ones. I have an ax to grind with the Opel GT though

Much like convertible tops they all look worse when they are up.

You could get them on the Pantera, which never looked right to me.

NSU trapeze from 1973 - 6 popup lights hidden in the bumper - and a wenkel..

This thing looked just plain goofy with the lights off...

Kinja'd!!!

Glad they went with pop-ups afterward.

I always like the ones where the cover is designed to sit flush with bodywork sloping off to the outsides of the hood so when they pop up it makes the car look like it's sad about something.

Buick Skyhawk T-Type. Basically a cavalier with louvers, a metal-and-rubber racing wheel, beefier seats, and a turbo. It was like the AE86's special needs cousin that drowned in the bathtub that the family agreed to not talk about. All I remember is that the lights flipped down instead of up.

928 FTW here, in a bad way.

When I was like 5, I thought it was the coolest motherfucking car I'd ever laid eyes on (it was my dads)
