Do you prefer Popup or Fixed Headlights?
- Thread starter Coconut
- Start date
One of the main reasons I picked up a 2002 was because of the fixed headlights. However, since then the pop-ups have grown on me and I would not mind having either.
Here we have a good example of a "real politician"!!!^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I like the hidden look of the popups but I don't like the air drag they create. Of course, the only time you would normally have them popped is at night with the lights on and you would be driving beyond the range of the headlights at 130 or so ----which isn't too smart. Crank you car up to 150 then pop your headlights---you will feel the drag.
02+ NSX looks cute, kind and gentle.
Before that the NSX had a fighting chance of looking like a proper mean kid....

As I've said before, I've owned both. There have been no new cars with popups since the 2004 Corvette. Of all of the cars with popups the NSX has aged the best IMO and I love the classic look. (Interpret: The Old Girl still looks good.) I was not a fan of the fixed until I saw my 91 NSX and a 03 NSX next to an F430 and an F458 at Coffee and Rides. I thought the 03 fixed fit right in with the F-cars and my 91 looked a little dated in comparison. I can't pick one over the other. I like the popups for the classic era that they represent and the fixed for their modern GT racing look. And another advantage to owning an original fixed headlight NSX is that it is 1 of only about 860 built. I guess I'm a little more open minded than some. But my perspective comes from the privilege of having owned both.

I like both, that is why I picked up a 93 and an 03. Lol
But I gotta say though, everyone prefer my pop up nsx when I asked which one they like better

lol!
I have fixed headlights and love them but sometimes I miss my pop ups!
I like the pop-ups because they pop up!
I like both for starters. I find I like the pop ups probably a bit more. That said, I have seen some real nice hard light cars which I feel look much better lowered (of course both look better lowered a bit).
The one thing I don't like about the hard light bumper is the circular sensors you see. That I am not a fan of.
BTW: I rarely use my lights. I usually run with just the bright fog lights (day and night). It makes it a special occasion when I have to 'light up the darkness' and pop up the real headlights.

Currently, there is a vivid discussion in Germany about a limited-edition model of a Porsche 911 (992) Slantnose/Flatnose Turbo – with pop-up headlights, of course …

Interestingly, the front-end looks almost identical to '91 NSX models ...lol
