That goes for all of them though. Maybe we need a "What cars with pop up headlights look cool cool when their lights are popped up?" thread.
Hate to say it but the F355 looks shit.

I had an Accord Aerodeck with blue velour interior. I loved the fact it had pop up lights, but as I had always wanted them. I am not 100% sure on whether it was a "cool" car or not, at 21/22

Is a tr7 cool? I don’t think so, but maybe the fact it has pop-ups makes it acceptable? 🤔

Stratos, with a pod of four extra lights between them

Ah, a loophole! Only allowable if the pod and pop up housings are the same colour and the pod lights don't have their cover(s) on;

From the wording of the first post I take Peterlplp's comment to mean uncool bu ja, the 355 is somewhat grinning bumchin.

From that angle it does kinda look like an MX5's sketchy old "uncle".

It’s one of the best looking cars ever made but with the lights up it looks terrible. That’s my position.

The Wektor was so you didn't have to choose. It works better than the more standard one, it's either the bumper line that follows the bonnet hump or the sidelights & indicators that's the main culprit but it's clunky and disjointed.

If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.
