Yea theres a member or two on here with them,
in my own opinion it doesnt look good at all....

Unless you do alot of molding and what not to make
them flush with the hook like the MKIV's then it
looks rediculous....

Technically honestabe's headlights aren't "in hood".

Older Corvette "pop up" headlights are - but nobody has done that.

I have to agree with Doom. Don't do it. Many have tried only to realize that the lighting sucks. And the only way to make it look right is to spend a LOT of money on it - and by a lot we're talking probably more than the car is worth.

I agree with IJ, and Davis.

I think if flushmounts were done the hood's shape messes it up anyways. You'd need to cut it straight and integrate the piece in the middle to the nose panel or the lights.

Sort of like this:

...and DOOM!

I like dual projectors more than the NSX modded headlights. Quad setup with dual bi-xenon or quad bi-xenon, oem projectors with a nice cutoff, bulbs, and HID setup.

Like Davis said, car looks very clean in the day, love it, and at night you can't see it much and I like how it looks anyways.

Hmm, a lot of good reasons not to do it, I'd go with the hella conversion instead of in hood head lights any day of the week personally. But those in hood head lights on that one dudes car look good.

honestly, flush mounts like adams (honestabe) are not worth the work. my friend and i did most of the install on his blue car, and u have to cut out alot of the stock front end bracing, and imho they just look like shit. stick with the stockers or the nsx lights.
