Pop-up Headlights

Am I the only person that really likes the pop-up headlight look? It's classy, and fits well with the rest of the FC look.
Those kits for flush mounted lights look like *** IMO.

I like them too!
I didn't like pop ups at all at first, but my FC taught me to love them.

I love em. The only 2 kits I would get to change that are the RE Amemiya 2k kit and the East Bear one.

Same here. I always thought that any car with popups was cool when I was a kid. I like the FC popups.

I think the popups give the FC the complete sports car look. Even though i do think a couple of conversions look SWEEETT!! AE and Border being two of them

Flip lights

Every last great Matchbox car that was cool had them. They were just the greatest thing around when I was 5 or 7 or so. When they went out in the early 90's I was pretty sad. But now that I own my FC my frown is upside down.

But I hear they're real bitches to fix if you ever crash.

I also think that the popups are part of the RX-7's personality but I am sooo in love with the RE Amemiya kit.

As the others, I liked pop-ups when I was a kid, so now I like 'em just the same. It adds to the sports-car feel of the FC.
