However, that's the only car that I can think of where that applies. I love the Diablo (300ZX) headlights, and frankly don't even enjoy the looks of the Diablo before that.

They look terrible when deployed, and destroy and good looks the car may have had when they were down, not to mention kill the aerodynamics." Tsk Tsk, Chris... Hidden headlights keep the car's design pure. Everyone knows that. Take a look at the original NSX (as you mentioned) and compare it to the later goofy, fixed-light version. Or take the Diablo. Wow, what a mess they made with that 300ZX-overstock headlight redesign. The Jag looks beautiful.. Its just unfortunate they put those JDM 180SX ebay headlights on it. Other than the stock (Pontiac hubcap?) wheels, it gets my thumbs up for sexy supercar. “On a side note, I think all pop-up headlights should be abolished and replaced with the fixed beams.
