Someone else posted that this morning....i think it was said best when someone made reference to the headlights looking like a Pontiac Sunfire

I don't like it at all. It just doesn't work right with the other lights. It curves in, but the fog lights and turn signals still remain in a squarish shape below it.

They are from a sunfire, are ill fitting, and cant possibly project right.

Think about it this way. Imagine that all 944s came from the factory with those fixed headlights. Now imagine someone came up with a pop-up conversion kit. You'd buy it in a heartbeat, wouldn't you?

I really dont like it. IMO I think the stock look makes it sexaaa. Makes it seem like we're doing some sort of 300ZX look.

I decided. I don't like it at all. Those are Sunfire lights. The curves on the corners of the lights don't flow with the lines of the car. It makes it look like a cheap backyard modification. If the lower outside corners of the lights were squared off it wouldn't look as bad.
Personally I like the 944's pop up lights. They give the car character.
That car was on ebay a while ago and there was a long thread on it.

I give props for resourcefulness, but personally i love the flip-up lights on these style cars. My friends all get a kick out of standing next to the front when i turn my headlights on too!
