LOL. You didn't fix it. I made my living in racing gasoline. NASCAR, SCCA, NHRA, Late Models, sports cars, jet skis, etc etc. I never made a nickel from methanol. Indy cars use alcohol and I do not give a poop about them. Thus my sarcastic remarks.

It looks great. There was a Laguna Blue used on the C2 one year. But I recall it looked very different, darker.

Can people buy those Indy 500 door decals? Would be cool to have a couple sets of those in case no Pace Car edition is offered. We could make our own pace car version.

I can't wait to see Laguna Blue in person at the race. Although, this view still bothers me, and it has nothing to do with the lights, I like them...I still am embattled with that rear diffuser.

I am still working on getting used to it too.

I don't know why it can't be paint body color.

I think it would look a little better without those horizonal "big rig" reflectors half way up the bumper.

I took them off the pic below.

Doesn't really make much of a difference to the overall look of the rear unfortunately.

Bet you $5.00 you are wrong. We need to determine the end time of the bet and how the winner will be determined.

That is not the most flattering view of the C7.

The left rear of the fascia looks better than the right, IMHO, because you can easily see where it slants in about 2/3 of the way down. One of those important subtleties. The reflectors also help break up the vertical upper area.
